    I renewed my Sublime Text license after using my expired one for two years. I put together a blog post which goes through the process of why I decided to renew. In the age of Microslop VS Code and VC/PEF-backed ZED, having diversity in the source code editing software world seems important to me . Ultimately it came down to the fact that it is extremely stable, it just works, and it has vim mode.

  6. Hey, #AskFedi I need your help finding an accessible, cross-platform text editor that isn't #VSCode. If you don't know any, please boost anyway. Thank you!

    I've been using VSCode for years--I think seven by now. For the most part, I was, and still am, happy with it; if you don't like MS metrics, you can switch to #VSCodium and it's very accessible even for a #DeafBlind user completely reliant on refreshable Braille displays such as myself.

    However...

    Microsoft's, shall we say, enthusiastic embrace of AI is warping VS Code, and I worry where it'll end. In short, I don't want all my eggs in one basket.

    Sadly, the landscape of accessible text editors and IDEs is, to my knowledge, still relatively barren; #SublimeText has been dragging its feet (rather: utterly refusing to walk) for over a decade. If you want to get angry, this thread is the most appalling thing I've read all month (1), and the linked GitHub issue doesn't give me any hope this'll ever be addressed.

    Am I really at the mercy of the whims of Microsoft or doomed to use a less feature-rich, extensible editor as my #IDE ?

    I hope not!

    So, what do you recommend? #Accessibility #A11y #Blind #ScreenReader

  14. @MaxLaves are you #emacs user? It never clicked for me. Neither does #vim. In ssh sessions I use #nano or #pico and for real editing #sublimetext was/is my fav. But recently I have come to appreciate #zed for AI support (because I can't stand browsers as editor, except for #typora to edit md).

  18. Speaking of Amiga (kindof): Another flat-UI app bites the dust and is forced into my fever-dream of 90's GUI-excellence. I made an Amiga/Windows95 looking theme for #SublimeText (or rather: modified someone else's Mac-looking theme). I might share it sometime after some cleanup.

    Suddenly while I'm doing something (in this case coding on the project in the screenshot), I feel like I *just have to* fix some other thing. In this case I was finally fed up with Sublime's flat UI while coding.

  21. I've got a Sublime Text plugin in Package Control now called HostSettings; it lets you easily (🤞) apply specific settings based on your computer's host name, which is nice if you have your settings in source control and need to tweak some things (my work computer needs a different font size, for example).

  35. I've been using #SublimeText here and there again instead of #VSCode and it's been kinda nice, thinking about switching back over to it, at least for personal projects.

    What plugins would y'all recommend for it these days? I know there are some lists on the package control site, but I'm curious about what y'all think :)
