![]() If you find and install the right extensions, you can use the VS Code as an IDE. Not as many extensions as VS Code: VSC gives you access to a plethora of extensions. The entire process of loading the file’s content in the memory and displaying it is fast. Once the editor reads the file, it will display its content in a new tab. Unlike Kate, Kwrite that freezes when I open a large file, ST displays a progress bar to indicate the %age content of the file that is being read into the memory. It is smaller compared to the Microsoft VS Code.įast: I use Sublime text for editing files of 5 to 10MB size. The application lets you bulk replace text inside the files Pros It also ships with a Goto function with which you can go to a specific line, definition, symbol, etc in a file. Sublime Text makes it easy to find text in the file by supporting regex and providing the incremental find feature. It can also index the content to make the search operations faster. Unlike basic text editors that allow you to work with files only, you can open various types of projects in the Sublime Text 3 editor. The task can be to add a try-catch block, heredoc, etc in the file you’re editing. For those who don’t know, macros let you run the same task again. You can record and run macros in the Sublime Text editor. In the distraction-free mode, the text/code of the file will be displayed at the center of the screen. The difference between the two modes is the right and left margin/padding. Both modes will increase the width/height of ST to the max supported width/height of your monitor. Sublime Text supports distraction-free and full-screen modes. It displays the number of times the plugins were downloaded. The website lets you sort the results by relevance or popularity. To find a package, you can either explore the category or use the website’s search option. Packages of ST are divided into different categories. When you do so, Sublime Text will open the packagecontrol.io website. To see the list of supported packages, click the “Discover packages” option. When you click the “Package Control” option, you’ll see a drop-down list. The packages allow you to format/indent documents, autocomplete snippets, etc. ST will now display the warnings and errors the compiler/debugger has found in the file/files. Once you finish typing the code, click the “Build” option that is displayed under the “Tools” menu. ST can detect the language you’re currently working with and configure the build system automatically. Once you install your favorite packages, you can configure ST to build the project files for you. You should back up the settings before changing the values. ![]() The file is the place where you’ll find application options. When you click this option, ST will open its settings file. You don’t have to restart the application. It also supports five color schemes – Breakers, Celeste, Monokai, Sixteen, and Mariana. Sublime text supports two dark color themes – adaptive and default. ![]() In addition to supporting lengthy text files, here are the features the Sublime Text editor provides to the users: Note: I know that the first letter of the class name should be in the uppercase format and the import is unused. To my surprise, Sublime Text opened the file within a few seconds. The first thing I did after installing Sublime Text is I opened a large XML doc to check whether the application supports editing/opening of lengthy files or not. I didn’t want to waste my time learning the commands because I’m happy with nano. To use Gvim, you must know the commands or features of VIM. I use the nano editor on Linux instead of Vim. Why did I remove these two applications? Glogg displayed the full XML file content in a single line. I used Glogg and Gvim for a while before removing them. After searching on the web for a while, I found Glogg, Gvim, and Sublime Text 3. As my data plan is not unlimited, I decided to give it a try to other open-source software. Sometimes, an update was available for Electron 7 after a day of updating Electron 6 and vice versa. Software updates are available as soon as a package has been modified to download the latest edition of the application. For those who are not aware, Arch is a rolling release distro. I had to remove VSCode because it used Electron 6.x instead of Electron 7.x which was already installed on my laptop. In 2019, I was using VScode to edit large log files and XML documents.
