Sublime Text
TrialA fast, cross-platform text editor for code, markup and prose, with a free evaluation and a paid licence.
About Sublime Text
Sublime Text is a commercial text editor for writing code, markup and prose. It is known for starting quickly, staying responsive on large files and offering a clean interface built around keyboard-driven editing.
The editor supports multiple selections, a command palette, split layouts and Goto Anything navigation, and it can be extended with packages and custom build systems. Syntax highlighting covers a wide range of languages, and the project-wide search and symbol indexing make it practical for moving around bigger codebases without a full IDE.
Sublime Text suits developers, writers and sysadmins who want a lightweight, fast editor that does not impose a heavy workflow. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux with the same core features.
The program can be downloaded and evaluated without paying, and continued use requires purchasing a licence from the publisher. Check the official site for current licence terms and pricing. Because it is a paid product, it is worth using the evaluation period to confirm that its editing style and package support fit how you work before buying a licence.
Good as a quick, light editor alongside a full IDE. Review the licence terms before relying on it for daily commercial work.
