![]() ![]() Learning the advanced concepts in Sublime is not easy. ![]() Instead of a vertical scrollbar, you get this: Nearly complete and trivial access to hundreds of commands with a few key presses. There’s also a corresponding go-to-project dialog (a dialog is called an "overlay" in Sublime). The go-to-anything dialog only knows about the files existing in a project. Sublime indexes all the files in a project’s folders, so they can be used by the amazing Go to anything dialog Creating a new project should not happen very often. Watch a video demo.Īlthough a project behaves just like a workspace, it’s much more than that, and you should almost always create a project and then a workspace, before proceeding. A project can also have its own settings overrides, and can automatically hide files and folders based on wildcards. A project is a saved set of folders which can contain zero or more workspaces. Sublime also has workspaces, but they each exist in a " project". TextPad has workspaces, which remember the currently-open files, including cursor positions and bookmarks. When I first heard about Sublime’s multi-cursors, I assumed it was a gimmick, cumbersome, and sure to slow things down. In addition to the above basic features, Sublime has Multi-cursors Things TextPad users will love in Sublime Text 3 While I can already automate most of TextPad, it can only be fast when the critical pieces are recorded as TextPad macros. The point is not to have perfect, uber-functional macros–the point is to make it easier to automate TextPad–but all these issues discourage macro development. They don’t need to be “upgraded” with if-logic or loops or anything else–they just need to be editable. When macros work, they are super-fast and invaluable. ![]() Worst of all, you’re only allowed to have sixty-four of them. Macros that are uneditable (so recording them is stressful), and whose key-commands are completely obliterated–all of them–when you rename or delete any single macro file, either directly in Windows Explorer (which you "shouldn’t" do), or even in TextPad’s built-in macro editor.
