Sublime Text Keyboard Shortcuts

Sublime Text is a popular cross-platform source code editor used by developers for writing codes in different languages. The code editor supports several programming languages and markup languages. It supports syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, macros, and plugins. This tool also shows a sidebar with all files and directories. You can open several files in different tabs to keep working on them at the same time. It also supports auto-completion, color coding elements, and error messages.
