🍋 Sublime Text

Add Sublime Text as a command. I prefer to rename it sub, subl is too long.

# to start sublime from command line, add symlink to the executable
ln -s \
    "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" \
    /usr/local/bin/sub

# for old sublime
ln -s \
    "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" \
    /usr/local/bin/sub

sub .

# and if sublime is the default editor in OS X
open file.txt
open projectname.sublime-project

Learn the keybindings. The most important ones:

• Cmd+p: Open file in project
• Cmd+Shift+p: Search and execute command.
• Cmd+1: Switch to 1st tab etc.
• Cmd+Shift+f: Search from open files and project.
• Cmd+k, u: Convert selected to uppercase.
• Cmd+k, l: Convert selected to lowercase.
• Cmd+d: Find and add next similar string to selection.
• Cmd+Shift+d: Duplicate the line you are on.
• Cmd+Shift+t: Open recently closed file.
• Cmd+n: Open new tab.
• Cmd+Shift+n: Open new window.

My custom keybindings to keep functionality consistent between applications.
