there is a "Find in Files" feature. It will show you a new tab with results where you can use key binds to navigate (next, previous, open line of result)

You can see the feature under "Find > Find in Files" You can see the "navigation" under "Find > Find Results"

For more help, head over to https://discord.sublimetext.io (and tag me, I'll reply when I can)


This is what I use. Unfortunately, when I’m doing a search and replace, the search results don’t update automatically once I’ve edited a file.

But thank you for replying. I’ll hop into Discord eventually.


Support for syntaxes (and/or debuggers) are mostly provided by the community. Creating a syntax for your language shouldn't be that hard afaik. Just head over to https://discord.sublimetext.io to talk to the active community

Here's my two (or three?) cents

1. There are several plugins that allow AI integration 2. There is an active community on https://discord.sublimetext.io

3. From what I can perceive based on Sublime HQ's responses, it's main focus for Sublime Text is simplicity and to be a text editor. You can notice this if you look at the banner text in the website; it says "Text Editing, Done Right". And while it is mainly used for code and most of its users are developers, it tries not to be. However, it does provide people the ability to extend it however they please.

Overall, Sublime Text is indeed not as fully featured as VSCode because it is not supposed to.


If you (or anyone here) feel Sublime Text is dead, the community is super active at discord. You can actively engage with ST devs and package developers there.

Just head over to the unofficial discord server: https://discord.sublimetext.io/


does it affect gecko browsers? firefox?

Ah that is unfortunate. If I can say one thing against Sublime HQ, it is that they are bad at communicating. I assume you are on a business license (thus the yearly) and you expected that there will be releases. Not as frequent but something that will signal you that they are active.

As a "dev" user (the unstable version), I can say that they are active. They have 6 builds just this year. 4 of which are large ones. Unfortunately, they just released those in "stable" last Aug 2.

Previous years are also bad. They released to "stable" mostly before the year ends while "dev" has builds almost every month.

If I were them, I would leverage the "we are so quiet" and provide exclusive access to frequent builds to paying customers. Sure they might be "unstable" but as a paying customer, I would rather have an unstable product than not hear from you the whole year.

Anyway, going back to my point, they are active. I can vouch for that. They are just really bad in doing "company" things. In my purely honest opinion, it is not enough for a business to have a great product if you can't appeal to your target market. They are lucky enough that there are people who fell in love with ST and stuck around.


This. I have a love and hate relationship with VSC. I try to migrate but always end up using Sublime again.


Based on your statement, I assume you tried Sublime with LSP and found it hard to setup?


Nova? Whoa! I will try this!

btw, if you need help with issues or just curious whether Sublime is dead or not, drop by their unofficial Discord server -> https://discord.com/invite/D43Pecu


Nova is worth a try if you're a Mac user!

On Sublime, it's a great editor, and being cross platform is really nice. They really do need to update the web site to reflect that it's not dead. The "see what's new" link is dated 2021.


my man!
