I decided to revisit my editor configuration the other night, and experimented with every possible editor I could think of / imagine. I heavily configured vim (neovim), PyCharm, Eclipse, Emacs (Spacemacs), VSCode, Atom, Textual, and more. I knew I was going to stay put with my choice of Sublime Text 3 (which I have been using for 5+ years), but it’s nice to have validation.

So, I decided to rebuild that configuration from scratch as well. I ended up with a very happy setup that I wanted to share with you. Here’s a screencast of myself writing a little bit of code and pushing it to GitHub with this setup. 

## Sublime UI Theme: Material

View fullsize ### Sublime Text Extensions:

• Anaconda — fantastic Python “IDE” support for Sublime Text. Just works, does everything you’d want it to do, including code completion and PEP8 checking.
• Color Highlighter — highlights colors present in code as the value provided (great for css).
• Emmet —fantastic HTML shortcut utility.
• Package Control — (obviously)
• SideBarEnhancements —enhances the sidebar context menu options. Easily create new files and folders, etc.
• Themr — easily switch between themes.

### Version Control:

• GitGutter — display git diff information in the gutter of Sublime Text — extremely useful! Keeps track of added/removed lines.
• GitSavvy — very useful tool for committing/pushing with Git right from Sublime!
• GitStatusBar — shows git repo status in the bottom bar of Sublime Text.

• Tomorrow Night Italics Color Scheme — italics for code comments, for Operator Mono.
• fish-shell — syntax highlighting for fish scripts.
