Improve Sublime according to your requirements.

Sublime

Maybe Sublime is a good text editor. But we all know that nothing is almighty. Therefor here are some recommendations that would make life easy.

  1. Open Preferences > Settings - user and put the following settings.
{
	"font_face": "Ubuntu Mono",
	"font_size": 16,
	"caret_style": "phase",
	"hot_exit": false,
	"remember_open_files": false,
	"tab_size": 4,
	"translate_tabs_to_spaces": false,
	"word_wrap": true,
	"highlight_line": true,		//Highlight current line
	"line_padding_bottom": 1,	//Increase the line height
	"line_padding_top": 1,		//Increase the line height
	"fade_fold_buttons": false,	//The arrows aren’t visible until you hover.
	"draw_white_space": "all",
	"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.tmTheme"
}

Change the settings according to your requirements

  1. Install package installer for sublime

  2. Press (ctrl+`) or View > Show Console and type

import urllib.request,os,hashlib; h = '2915d1851351e5ee549c20394736b442' + '8bc59f460fa1548d1514676163dafc88'; pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); urllib.request.install_opener( urllib.request.build_opener( urllib.request.ProxyHandler()) ); by = urllib.request.urlopen( 'http://packagecontrol.io/' + pf.replace(' ', '%20')).read(); dh = hashlib.sha256(by).hexdigest(); print('Error validating download (got %s instead of %s), please try manual install' % (dh, h)) if dh != h else open(os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write(by)
  1. After installing package manager install package HTML-CSS-JS Prettify. To install goto Preferences > Package Control. A box will be opened. Select Install Package, search preetify and install that. Preetify is used to beautify your code.

  2. Now open Preferences > Package Settings > HTML/CSS/JS preetify > Set preetify Preferences. Replace the content with the following

{
  // The plugin looks for a .jsbeautifyrc file in the same directory as the
  // source file you're prettifying (or any directory above if it doesn't exist,
  // or in your home folder if everything else fails) and uses those options
  // along the default ones.

  },
  "js": {
  "allowed_file_extensions": ["js", "json", "jshintrc", "jsbeautifyrc"],

  // Set brace_style
  //  collapse: (old default) Put braces on the same line as control statements
  //  collapse-preserve-inline: (new default) Same as collapse but better support for ES6 destructuring and other features. https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify/issues/231
  //  expand: Put braces on own line (Allman / ANSI style)
  //  end-expand: Put end braces on own line
  //  none: Keep them where they are
  "brace_style": "collapse-preserve-inline",

  "break_chained_methods": false, // Break chained method calls across subsequent lines
  "e4x": false, // Pass E4X xml literals through untouched
  "end_with_newline": false, // End output with newline
  "indent_char": "\t", // Indentation character
  "indent_level": 1, // Initial indentation level
  "indent_size": 1, // Indentation size

  "wrap_line_length": 0 // Lines should wrap at next opportunity after this number of characters (0 disables)
  }
}

I have changed indent_char and indent_size.

  1. Now to beautify you code press Ctrl+alt+H or go to Preferences > Package Settings > HTML/CSS/JS preetify > Preetify Code. Your code will be beautified. Make sure you have replaced all spaces with tabs before ( Viez > Indentation > Convert Spaces to Tabs)
  2. Install Package Alignment. Goto Preferences > Package Settings > Alignment > Settings - User and paste the following content.
{
	// The mid-line characters to align in a multi-line selection, changing
	// this to an empty array will disable mid-line alignment
	"alignment_chars": [
		"=", ":"
	]
}
