Useful Sublime Shortcuts and Commands

I use this post to remind me of keyboard shortcut keys, etc, for the Sublime Text 2 editor. These are just reminders for functionality that I am already somewhat familiar with, so there isn’t much explanation, which is readily available online.

Work in progress. Comment if you think there is somehing I should list here.

Searching

Exclude directories form global search

e.g -*/my_mobile_site/intermediate/*, -*/my_mobile_site/publish/*

Selection

Select Next

Ctrl D

Select Block/Column

By default this is set to ctrl+shift+up and ctrl+shift+down, but that did not work on my MacBook as those keys are already used by OS X. I therefore changed it, as shown below, to alt+shift+up and alt+shift+down.

To edit select_lines in Sublime:

1. Go to Preferences > Key Bindings - User

2. Add or edit the following lines, so that they look like this:

  { "keys": ["alt+shift+up"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": false} },
  { "keys": ["alt+shift+down"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": true} }

Check Key Bindings - Default to see what select_lines is set to by default.

Quic Open a File
