It's good to hear, but it'll have to be pretty damn impressive to retake the ground lost to Sublime Text 2 and vim.
- dorian-graph 15y agoSublime Text2 is really turning out to be fantastic. So many 'little' features that make it nice to use.. though as nice as they are I wouldn't use it without vi key bindings.
- gchandrasa 15y agoSublime Text2 has vintage mode, it's vi mode editing package. http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html
- dekz 15y agoWarning, it doesn't always behave like vi. One thing I found was visual mode and pull up, pulls more than just the selected line (seems to be the entire block). Shift-V, j, Shift-J for those who want to confirm.
- netmute 15y agoSublime Texts vintage mode doesn't feel like vim at all. Even basic things like ':x' are missing.
- atourino 15y agoYou can probably implement these things yourself once you notice them missing.
- methodin 15y agoBy the same token it would be a great way for new users to learn vim while maintaining the comforts of ctrl-c ctrl-v and tab indents etc...
- akmiller 15y agoMacVim is great for that (if, of course, you are on a mac). It has all the great vi stuff along with the core OS style commands that everyone is familiar with. I believe gVim on Windows does the same but I'm not positive on that.
- kisielk 15y agoSee :behave mswin
- alexis-d 15y agoHow would you do that? ctrl-v for instance is really useful in Vim.
- dorian-graph 15y agoOh, I'm aware it does. I was implying that as much as I like all the little, nice touches in Sublime Text 2 I still wouldn't use it without vi bindings. I started using it as my main editor after the last update which introduced vintage mode. :)
- trebor 15y agoAnd yet, last I tried the alpha/beta of ST2 I saw that it lacked a project view. That's super handy to me.
- thenduks 15y agoWhat do you mean 'project view'? It has practically the same views and navigation features of TextMate (+ the minimap thing).
- trebor 15y agoI mean that I never found the thing or a place to turn it on. That's why I stopped using Sublime Text 2; I found it's UX to be confused. (Or at least able to produce that feeling in me.)
- thenduks 15y agoView -> Side Bar? Don't get me wrong, though. You don't like it you don't like it. It's all good.
- frio 15y agoI was kind of in the same boat; the UI is there, but the way to open a folder (compared to vim) is semi non-obvious. Project > Add Folder to Project. Once you do that, you get the sidebar view typical of textmate, and the extremely handy Ctrl-(or Command, depending on platform)-P. Slap that combo, start typing in a file, and it'll filter out the one you want from within the project. It makes navigating around for snap edits very quick :).
- trebor 15y agoOh. That seems a bit needlessly complex to me. And I love PeepOpen, which adds this feature to Textmate and several other editors.
- jskinner 15y agoThere are a few ways to add folders: - Drag a folder onto the window from Finder/Explorer - File/Open Folder to open a folder in a new window - Project/Add Folder to Project to add an additional folder to the current window - Via the command line
