Not a program, but being very familiar with the keyboard shortcuts in SublimeText has saved me countless hours of dev time.
Things like Ctrl-D to highlight multiple instances of a word, plus the ability to put on Caps checking in the search bar first so you're only highlighting correctly capitalized versions. Make the same change in multiple locations. Saves so much time.
Knowing how to highlight a letter, a word, a line at a time.
Ctrl-shift-down to make your cursor span multiple lines at the same point, and have copy/paste respect the copied text from the respective lines.
So many things add up to hours upon hours of time saved, and frustration avoided.
- Shorel 4y agoI would say Sublime Text is in fact a program. It has also saved me over 100 hours or more. And this includes its instantaneous speed and the ability to open huge files!
- mastersummoner 4y agoFair point! I'd say what I'm most aware of having saved me the most time is knowledge of the shortcuts and features available _in_ SublimeText though.
- unsigner 4y agoCame here to post this. The multiple cursors feature combined with the ability to open huge files with gracefully degrading performance turns a lot of what would be one-off programming tasks that would take dozens of minutes to an hour into interactive sessions that take seconds to minutes. Also the low latency is amazing. Sublime on an old laptop feels batter than VS Code on a fancy new desktop.
- foxandmouse 4y agowhen switching to vscode, I thought it would be a good idea to use the VScode shortcuts, I wish I took the time to customize it to match sublime. They are so much more intuitive. It just feels right, if that makes any sense.
