The reasoning behind writing these set of functions is that I love Emacs, however, the UI doesn't feel as snappy as other Mac apps. On the other hand I cannot move to another editor since many of those hyped editors is that they don't provide the keybindings I love.
Then, I found Sublime Text 2. A completly customizable editor allowing you to easily modify all default behaviors so that they suit your editing sytle.
So I wrote sublemacspro bringing Emacs keybindings and sugar to Sublime Text 2. Even though Emacs lives from the plugins, I beleive it is way easier to write new plugins in Python and integrate them in an Emacs-ish way to Sublime Text 2 than writing them in Lisp.
The following features are supported and merged from other approaches and the base code of the new beta of Sublime Text 2.
- Kill line, region ... with kill ring. All the sugar you love with a nice UI with
M-w,C-w,C-y - Yank with free choice from kill ring using fancy overlay: Just press
C-Yto access the kill ring and search for your last copy and pastie - Rectangular cut and insert using
C-x r tandC-x r d - Named registers to store data using
C-x r s [register]andC-x r i [register]
The key bindings are strictly oriented on their original Emacs counterpart, however, sometimes the action might be a little different due to other semantics.
I will try to extend this more and more to provide more features from Emacs to Sublime Text 2 and make this my fast and beautiful Emacs replacement.
