Sunday, August 28, 2016

Sublime Text 3 has dozens of useful keyboard shortcuts. If you're looking for something in particular, here are categories to browse through.

Most of the keystroke shortcuts have an accompanying gif, but others like Open File and Save As don't really need one.

Beginner

Here are somes basics to get you started.

`⌃⌘UP` Move line/selection up
`⌘X` Cut line

`⌃⌘DOWN` Move line/selection down
`⌘L` Select line - repeat to select next lines
`⌘D` Select word - repeat to select other occurrences

If you have the basics down, it's time to get a little fancier.

`⌘[` or `⇧TAB` Un-indent current line(s)
`⇧⌘D` Duplicate line(s)
`⌘/` Comment/un-comment current line

`⌘K⌘K` Delete from cursor to end of line
`⌘KBACKSPACE` Delete from cursor to start of line
`⇧⌘V` Paste and indent correctly
`⌃[SPACE]` Select next auto-complete suggestion
`⌘U` Soft undo A 'soft undo' reverses what's been selected
`⌥⌘V` Paste from history Sublime Text remembers the past few things on your clipboard, and you can choose from them

Command	Example
`⌘P` Quick-open files by name
`⌘R` Goto symbol If you're new to symbols, think of them as class or function definitions.
`⌃G` Goto line in current file
`⌘L` Select current line
`⇧⌃M` Select between brackets (or braces or parentheses)
`⇧⌘J` Select current indentation
`⌘E` Use selection for find

Command	Example
`⌘F` Find
`⇧⌘F` Find in files
`⌘G` Find next
`⌥⌘F` Replace...
`⇧⌘G` Find previous
`⌘I` Incremental find	Incremental Find is only slightly different than Find. When you use Find, you begin typing, hit `Enter` to find Find Next right occurance, and then `Escape` to begin editing. With Incremental Find, when you begin typing, you can hit `Enter` and immediately begin editing the selection.
`⌥⌘E` Replace next

Command	Example
`⌥⌘2` Split view into two columns
