Sublime Text 2 is my favorite code editor as of late.  It’s just brilliantly simple and powerful.  Cross platform, free or $60 to support the team, and super easy to create new addins w Python.  Here are some helpful settings.  My favorite is “save_on_last_focus” which automatically saves files when focus is moved away, such as to another file or program.  To edit user settings, click the Preferences menu > Settings – User.  What are your favorite settings?

(if you don’t see the code just above, view it here)

p.s. If you’re new to Sublime Text 2, here are a few things to try:

1. Install the Sublime Package Control addon, then use it to install SideBarEnhancements and Open URL (Preferences menu > Package Control)
2. Try Project menu > Add Folder to Project… then Ctrl+P to jump to files quickly, Ctrl+B to build (and run) many file types, and Ctrl+Shift+P to run Sublime commands.
3. Take a look at the settings and key bindings in Preferences menu > Settings – Default and Preferences > Settings – Key Bindings Default.  Give some of them a try and create your own in the Preferences > * – User files.
