After using Sublime for a little over a year now, I've found the minimap is not useful as a map per se, but I do find it handy for two things. First, it's an omnipresent 'fingerprint' of the file I'm looking at, and I think subconsciously it helps me get my bearings when I switch files. Second, it's a nice fat, instant scroll bar for moving around a file quickly (which, yes, I do occasionally even with all the nice fuzzy search tools).

On the other hand, I have colleagues who can't program without having pen and paper around -- people use whatever tools they like based on how their mind works.
- treeface 14y agoWhen I first started using ST, I thought the map would be really helpful. In the end, I typically use it the way you do...as a sort of placeholder and scrollbar. However, the ctrl-R feature has become my go-to tool for finding a subsection quickly. Really useful, I've found.
