One of the features of Sublime that people seem to forget about sometimes is the macro facility. A combination of a simple macro along with a suitable keyboard shortcut is a powerful way to enhance your editing experience.
Here there are the following simple macros:
-
comment_line can be used to modify the functionality of toggling a line comment by having the cursor advance to the next line after the current line is toggled.
-
xml_line_comment is an example of using a macro and a key binding to make Sublime comment multiple lines of XML at once as single lines instead of as a group.
To use a macro, just drop it into some package (e.g. your User package) and
Sublime will notice it. You can put it inside of a folder inside of a package
if desired.
By default, Macros show up in the menu under Tools > Macros using a structure
that represents the package that they are stored in, and any folders that they
are inside of inside of the package.
See the customizations folder for an example of a key binding that maps to a macro. You could also use the same command as is used there to add the macro to the command palette if desired.
