FAQ
Q
What is sublime text editor on CentOS?
A
Sublime Text is a cross-platform source code editor developed based on Python' s Application Programming Interface (API). It supports many programming and markup languages and its functionality can be extended with the addition of supportive plugins, which are community-built and maintained under free-software licenses.

Ubuntu is the only supported distribution at the moment. I'm working to expand this as soon as possible.
Q
Can Sublime Text be run from a USB key?

Q
I prefer the look of Sublime Text 2, or otherwise find it fits my situation better, why did you get rid of it and how can I get it back?
A
There were no sources for the images in the Default theme, and they were almost all only normal resolution. For a number of years, high DPI setups (including retina Macs) were using low-res graphics, and there was no way other than creating a new master source to create them.
The new Default theme is a refresh of the old design that incorporates the general look and feel, but with a refreshed color palette, more flat aesthetic, and more compatible color choices.
Q
When did an error indicate on SSh?
A
The error message indicates that you’re starting Sublime over SSH via terminal, better login into GUI mode and try to start it..hope it will work out..
