Sublime Text — Mac download

Build 4215 patches a compatibility snag for macOS 10.13 and 10.14 and fixes the vintage M command.

Multiple cursors, column selection, and split panes

Multiple cursors — place more than one cursor to edit several lines at the same time. No find-and-replace repetition.

Column selection — select a vertical block of text. Useful for lining up data or trimming prefixes across rows.

Split panes — view one to four files side by side without opening extra windows.

Syntax highlighting — ships with support for C, C++, C#, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Markdown, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL, XML, and more. Plugins add further languages.

Build systems — run a script or compiler directly from the editor. The terminal stays out of sight.

Autocomplete — suggests completions from your code and user-defined variables as you type.

Syntax checking — flags errors while you work, inline.

Cmd+P file jumping and the command palette

Goto Anything — press Cmd+P and type a few letters of a filename. Works across the whole project, no clicking through folders.

Command palette — Cmd+Shift+P. Every menu action, plugin command and preference toggle lives here. Fuzzy-search your way to anything without memorising shortcuts.

Auto-save on focus loss — Sublime saves your work when you switch to another app. No explicit save needed. Enable it once and forget it.

Last-action repeat — Cmd+Shift+G on macOS repeats the last editing action. Indented one line? Repeat it down a block of twenty.

Line joining — Cmd+J pulls the next line onto the current one. Handy when cleaning pasted prose or collapsing multi-line strings.

Minimap scrubbing — click and drag on the minimap to scroll long files. Not just a preview; a navigation surface.

Auto-strip trailing whitespace and ensure newline on save

Open Preferences → Settings and add these lines to your user settings file:

• "trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true — strips invisible trailing spaces automatically on save. One less thing to lint later.
• "ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save": true — adds a trailing newline if one is missing. Keeps diffs clean in version control.
• "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true — converts tabs to spaces project-wide. Pair with "tab_size": 2 or 4 to match your team's style.
• "highlight_line": true — highlights the current line. A subtle visual anchor when hopping between panes.
• "draw_white_space": "selection" — shows invisible characters only within your selection. Less visual noise than the "all" setting.

Right-click Open With, plus the subl terminal launcher

Open from Finder — right-click any text file and pick Sublime Text from the Open With menu. After the first time, macOS remembers the association.

Command-line launcher — the subl helper opens files and folders from Terminal. Type subl . to open the current directory as a project. Set the path once in the app preferences.

Clipboard history tools — column selection pairs well with clipboard managers like Maccy or Paste. Copy a vertical slice from a log file, paste it into a spreadsheet.

Version control — Sublime's gutter shows added, modified and deleted lines when Git is active in the project folder. No plugin needed for basic visual diff cues.

External build tools — point a build system at make, npm or a Python script. Output appears in a bottom panel. Errors are clickable and jump to the exact line.
