Move cursor to beginning of selection

  • Install SelectUntil Package
  • On Windows, select text and press: alt + shift + r to reverse all selections (so if the insertion point is at the end of the selection, it is moved to the beginning, and vice versa).

Syncing Sublime Text Settings Across Machines

Use Git to sync sublime packages and settings across multiple Windows machines:

  • On the first machine create a Git repository in: C:\Users\stefa\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User
  • Symc the repository to the remote git server.
  • Install your packages, add settings etc.
  • On other machines clone the remote git repository to: C:\Users\stefa\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User
  • Install package control. It will then automatically install all sublime packages according to the synced package control settings.

Add Sublime Text to Windows Context Menu

Create a reg file subl.reg and open it with a text editor and add the content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Sublime Text]
@="Edit with &Sublime Text"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe,0"
"MuiVerb"="Edit with Sublime Text"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Sublime Text\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Sublime]
@="Open with Sublime Text"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Sublime\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe\" \"%V\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Sublime]
@="Open with Sublime Text"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Sublime\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe\" \"%1\""

Double click the file to run it. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39839764/sublime-text-3-how-to-add-to-right-click#:~:text=You%20can%20click%20a%20checkbox,menu%20when%20installing%20Sublime%20Text.&text=You%20may%20need%20to%20adapt,and%20rightclick%20on%20a%20folder.

Troubleshooting

** Sublime SFTP: When syncing a folder with multiple subfolders, the error log file opens containing the following message: „Invalid SSH key passphrase specified“.

Removing and reinstalling the Sublime SFTP package only resolves the issue until Sublime Text gets closed and reopened.

To get rid of the error popup without turning off other error popups, comment out and replace the following line inside SFTP.py in the package root folder (around line 300):

# if message.find('/sftp/') != -1 or message.find('\\sftp\\') != -1:
if message.find('Invalid SSH key passphrase specified') == -1 and (message.find('/sftp/') != -1 or message.find('\\sftp\\') != -1):

In Case you want to prevent all Sublime SFTP error popups, just comment out the following lines inside SFTP.py:

if sftp_debug.get_debug() and sftp_debug.get_debug_log_file():
    send_log_path = sftp_debug.get_debug_log_file()
    sftp_debug.debug_print(message)
sublime.error_message(
    'Sublime SFTP\n\nAn unexpected error occurred, please send '
    'the file %s to support@wbond.net' % send_log_path
)
sublime.active_window().run_command(
    'open_file',
    {'file': sftp_paths.fix_windows_path(send_log_path)}
)

For upgrade safety: Copy SFTP.py to user root folder for modifications. It will override the package file. Keep in mind, that package updates could also contain updates to the file.

** Git diff badges not showing: Only fully works with 64bit version of Sublime Text. Try adding to preferences:

"git_diff_target": "head"

** Autosave feature can’t be turned of: Look for setting „save_on_focus_lost“ not only in general preferences but also project related preferences.
