While using Sublime a co-worker and I were talking about using ‘vintage’ mode in Sublime and its shortcomings on Mac. Namely two: it starts in edit mode, and it does not support key repeat (e.g. k
doesn’t move your cursor up the page more than once per key depress).
So, in case you aren’t there already, you can get into vintage mode thus: modify your User Preferences file (⌘+,) commenting out the “Vintage” line in the ignored_packages object:
"ignored_packages": [ // "Vintage" ],
While I haven’t solved the first problem, I found a solution for the second. In terminal, enter:
defaults write com.sublimetext.2 ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
That cat is half-skinned. I may come back to this later.
