<3 Sublime Text 2

flexd• 15 years ago

This is really nice but wasn't this already linked somewhere on here like a day ago?

I haven't been able to try it out much besides playing around in an old ruby project. It doesn't really seem to do much unless you are coding pure ruby but it's convenient enough.

makes Sublime Text 2 even better and I like that :-)

oh man, I JUST switched to sublime this afternoon and was wondering if this was possible... DESTINY!!!

I've been using it for the past two weeks. It's very buggy but quite good when it works. I'm using the most recent version from git.

To give a few examples of the bugs I encounter every day:

1. If you use it to auto-complete css files and you want to type "text-shadow" the moment you hit the dash the text gets replaced with "text-align". So if you type quickly you end up with "text-alignshadow:". The second time you type text-shadow it does work. This goes wrong for all definitions that contain a dash because SublimeCodeIntel (or the libraries it depends on) considers a dash a separator and separators trigger code completition.

2. It autocompletes on empty matches. If you start typing and for one reason or another the auto complete window pops up (and it does so automatically) and you hit space, or colon, any other separator what you just typed gets replaced with the topmost match in the completion list (even if 0 characters match).

3. I think it messes with my undo/navigation buffers, but I'm not quite sure.

4. The python completion crawler keeps reindexing and reindexing. So in practice the Python completion is nearly useless. It also doesn't give hints for parameter order (which I consider the most valuable hints by far) even though Komodo does (the library is ported from Open Komodo afaict)

5. ST crashes a few times a day after installing this plugin. Not 100% sure if it's to blame, though.

6. Unlike Komodo it doesn't index jQuery properly.

These issues aren't dealbreakers though. I just hit escape whenever the auto-complete window pops up.

Yeah, I installed this and just opening a new buffer and triggering the completion a few times in a row causes ST to crash, repeatably.

With the editor crashing over and over, I don't think the completion will save much time. (Although ST recovers from a crash with everything pretty much as it was, unsaved buffers included (at least on Lion).)

Hopefully this plugin will continue to improve, though.

Some of these issues arise because SublimeCodeIntel triggers the auto-complete prompt automatically, which it wasn't designed for. I'm planning to rework the auto-complete system at some point to make it more appropriate for this scenario.

arctangent• 15 years ago

I guess it sucks that these issues are spoiling your experience. But this is obviously a new thing and the bugs will be worked out eventually. Can you tell us more about the good things it does for you?

This is pretty slick!

Is it pretty fast? Any lag?

fletchowns2• 15 years ago

Feels instantaneous to me. Application startup time is still nice and fast too.

kanwisher2• 15 years ago

Very exciting, loving sublime text2. I think once this is stable it will stop any reasons to switch to a full blown ide. I think I need to fork this and add scala support!

mcrider2• 15 years ago

Still need a debugger :) Too bad MacGDBp is pretty much unusable.

crag• 15 years ago

Why is that? I use it. I admit it's not "full featured" but it does get the job done.

kanwisher2• 15 years ago

I don't really use a debugger much with Scala or Ruby, makes me write more concise code, and better unit tests.

gootik• 15 years ago

I can now start my Monday very happy.

SublimeCodeIntel and SublimeLinter are very buggy. Try opening a semi~big file and try to type something...

My suggestion to SublimeCodeIntel developer is: write your own version!! Code Intel even fails on Komodo.

Sublime Text is just awesome! <3

I've been trying out Sublime for a few days, but it will take a long time for me to switch to it from Notepad++; certain things I use a lot (code folding, XML completion, byte editor, almost everything on the np++ Tools menu) appear absent from Sublime, but maybe I am missing a wonderful world of optional plugins. Thoughts? The l33t color schemes and text map are nice and all...

Code folding is available since Build 2126

Does every text editor expand until it becomes an IDE?
