I’ve stared using the very powerful yet minimalistic text editor Sublime Text 2, one of the great features is the ability to customise it to your personal needs.
GPL v3
Some of the code I write I license under the GPL v3 but because the code is only a small function, I don’t want to include the full GPL in the source so I use the minimal header. To ease my life and make it quicker to include this minimal header in my code I have written a small snippet for Sublime to insert the minimal GPL.
Just type
**GPL**
and press tab to comete the code. This will then move the cursor to the program and description part where you pop the name and a brief description. You’ll probably want to change the copyright name to your own in the snippet.
To install the snippet just download it, open Sublime click Preferences > Browse Packages and put it in the user folder in there, then restart Sublime.
Sublime SMARTY Support
It took me a while to find the forum post so I’m reposting the info here, sublime actually supports smarty semi-natively but its not turned on, so here’s how to turn it back on…
- Open file “Packages\HTML\HTML.tmLanguage”, if you search for string “<!–” you will notice that (currently) there is two references to “Smarty language” commented. Un-comment these.
- Download the SMARTY.PLIST and rename it “Smarty.tmLanguage” and place in the user folder (Packages\User\).
- Some colour schemes may not support it properly but idlefingers does so very well too.
