To following up on my previous post on the essential settings for Sublime Text 3, I would like to layout a few non-essential but useful settings:
Change cursor style
Set the caret_style property to change cursor style:
"caret_style": "phase", // change cursor's blink style from on -> off to fade in -> fade out
Other caret styles can be used:
- smooth (this is the default)
- blink (I cannot tell the difference between this and smooth)
- wide (the cursor width is wider and it does not blink)
- solid (the cursor does not blink and stays "solid")
- phase (fade in / fase out effect, very subtle)
Make cursor wider
If you just want the cursor to be wider but still blinks, use this
"wide_caret": true,
"caret_style": "blink",
Show ruler
To display a vertial ruler:
"rulers": [80, 120] // this will display two vertical rulers at 80 and 120 character count
You can word wrap at specific character count:
"wrap_width": 80 // default is 0
Highlight the line where cursor is at
"highlight_line": true
Save all files when tab out to another Window
When you alt+tab to another window, saves all the files opened in Sublime:
"save_on_focus_lost": true,
Turn on spell checker
"spell_check": true,
Visualize all whitespace characters
"draw_white_space": "all"
Available options are:
- none
- all
- selection
Antialiasing Font for Retina Display
Try this option if you are on a retina display:
"font_options": ["gray_antialias"],
Always show code folding icon
The folding icon is only shown on hover by default, you can change it to always appear:
"fade_fold_buttons": false,
