Sublime Text 2 Extensions

[Fiver]

I'm trying to switch over to this proggie from Notepad ++ but this shit is pissing me off. For some dumb fucking reason they didn't include a "view in browser" extension/package and so I've had to go download the one from Github.

Only you don't just install it and have it work. Unlike Notepad ++, there are no shortcut keys (that I can see) for this extension and editing the shortcuts is a page that involves some strange code.

How the hell am I supposed to edit this thing so I can use shortcuts for each browser?

Although you can probably still do it in version 2, check out Sublime Text 3, they made some improvements to the custom command features. You can add custom commands to open the file with a browser using python functions, then map the function to a shortcut with:

Preferences -> Key Bindings - User

Watch this 3-4 minute tutorial on Sublime Text Package Control:
https://tutsplus.com/lesson/package-control/


Then watch this 2-3 minute video on Sidebar Enhancements:

I recommend watching every video in that series (it's free) to greatly increase your workflow speed. You'll be surprised at all of the features and functionality Sublime Text 2 has.

^^ What he said. You want the Sidebar Enhancements plugin and then can open a file in a browser by hitting F12 or whatever you prefer.

I also recommend the LiveReload plugins for Sublime/Chrome/Firefox. LiveReload
