Getting Started with Sublime Text 2

rmccue 14 years ago |

Personally, while I would have agreed with the Soda UI theme a couple of weeks ago, the new UI theme works pretty well and looks much better.

It definitely looks better, but the new tab colouring makes more difficult to see which tab is active, inactive or modified. Luckily Soda UI solves this.

As someone who was always a huge fan of Soda, and is the creator of the new theme, thanks a lot for the kind words!

Seconding that, the new theme is wonderful. Now you just need to throw some money at Dan Perrera to let you use his version of the icon - http://dribbble.com/shots/311515-A-Sublime-Text-2-Icon-that-....

I quite like the icon by Nate Beaty that's listed as tip #2 here: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/sublime-tex...

I actually kind of hate that one, ha. It's a little too...on the nose, we'll say, with the code in the background and the tabs at the bottom. I like my icons a bit more subtle, personally.

Another great one (imo!) is here, by Adam Kiss: http://dribbble.com/shots/378184-Unofficial-Sublime-Text-2-I.... A different take than the rectangular look, reminds me of Ommwriter a bit.

I agree, I like the new default theme a lot better. Good work! I updated the original post.

mrchess 14 years ago | | |

dumb question but is there literally a theme called "new theme" or are you just talking about the new default sublimetext theme?

spjwebster 14 years ago | | |

There is a brand new theme, called simply Default, that ships with Sublime Text 2. See:

http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-2-buil...

If you've customised your theme already, you'll need to go into Global Settings > User and either remove the theme line or change it to:

  "theme": "Default.sublime-theme",

Should be "Getting Started with Sublime Text 2 _on Mac_".

Instead of:

  sudo ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" \
  /usr/bin/subl

I would link it to /usr/local/bin/subl or just create an alias in ~/.profile file:

  alias subl='/Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl'

Don't forget to check out Fetch, it's a plugin for Sublime: http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/introducing-nettuts-fe...

Has anyone tried the git plugin? I'm wondering how it compares to emacs's magit.

miles_matthias 14 years ago | |

I don't use emacs but I do love the git plugin for sublime.

I have been struggling to stay from TextMate and move to Sublime. The Soda Theme + auto-completion makes it a tad easier. Thanks!

Does anyone have an up-to-date snippet package for Rails 3.0+ ? The snippets included in the default installation are incomplete.

flexterra 14 years ago |

I have almost the same setup. Love it!

timinman 14 years ago |

I love the auto-completion.
