Seamless Sublime Text 3 Integration

Requirements

Assuming you are on Windows and using the latest cmder release, go ahead and download the latest portable version of Sublime Text 3 (stable) or Sublime Text 3 (dev).

Setup

Unzip the contents of the zip-file containing the portable version of ST3 into the newly created folder %CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3 and add the line subl="%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* to your aliases in %CMDER_ROOT%\config\user-aliases.cmd. Naturally the subl alias can be replaced with whatever you had in mind.

Seamless split-pane integration

To further integrate ST3 with cmder, it is possible to merge the UI of both application by splitting the view either horizontally or vertically into panes within cmder:

• subl="%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* -new_console:s
• subl="%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* -new_console:s50H
• subl="%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* -new_console:s50V
• subl="%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* -new_console:s75V

Restart cmder!

• You can change the tab group settings of cmder in Features > Settings and check one tab per group.
• If you are in the C:\Users\Foo directory within the cmder UI and know there is a long-boring-file-name.txt within, typing subl long and hitting TAB will autocomplete your cmder input to subl long-boring-file-name.txt.
• To quickly exit sublime, just press AltFX (File > Exit from the main menu). Alternatively close the current tab in ST3 via CtrlW.
• To make ST3 not remember your previously opened files, add "hot_exit": false and "remember_open_files": false to Preferences > Settings from the main menu.
