I’m playing with a new text editor, Sublime Text 2, and it has much potentials to replace my current handy Notepad++ and VIM. A quick note for further exploration(will keep update):
1. SAS syntax highlighting
Sublime Text 2 doesn’t support SAS syntax natively. I got a workaround so I didn’t need to write my own to play with it in the validation stage. Since Sublime Text 2 supports TextMate’s syntax configuration, Just borrowed a Textmate’s SAS syntax coloring theme from Jakob Stoeck (thanks a lot man!).
This SAS coloring theme is Github hosted, so you can clone the files to the user created “SAS” folder (C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\data\Packages\SAS; I use a Win 7 machine) if your Git is installed properly:
git clone git://github.com/jakob-stoeck/sas.tmbundle SAS.tmbundle
or you can just simply save and copy this file to the SAS folder above:
https://raw.github.com/jakob-stoeck/sas.tmbundle/master/Syntaxes/SAS.tmLanguage
Then you get
Pretty nice, isn’t it? One of the neat functionalities of Sublime Text 2 is to open a folder as a project (showed in the left panel).
2. VI(M) Emulation
We can also easily launch Vi(M) mode in Sublime Text 2, see
