Sublime tweaks

Not really tweaks, just basic config for me. I really like Sublime Text 3 and have it set up on all my machines. I've purchased a personal license because, well, it was the right thing to do.

Tab stops at 4 spaces is fine, but definitely set translate_tabs_to_spaces to true if other editors like vi are going to be working with your files.

Also, fonts. Yeah, the third rail of text editor controversy. "font_face": "DejaVu Sans Mono" "font_size": 13, I tried 12, it was just too small for these ancient eyes (the default of 10 is ridiculous, who came up with that?). 14 was great, but required me to go full screen on a 20" square monitor (real sysadmins use square monitors). So 13 was a compromise that I can live with.

And yeah, Sublime is fast, Really fast. Leaves Atom, and even VS Code, in the dust.

I now also install the Flatland theme using Package Control and configure for dark mode.

This is my personal User preferences file:

{
	"color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Flatland/Flatland Dark.tmTheme",
	"font_face": "DejaVu Sans Mono",
	"font_size": 13,
	"ignored_packages":
	[
		"Vintage"
	],
	"tab_size": 4,
	"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
	"theme": "Flatland Dark.sublime-theme",
}
