Everyone likes to publish their favorite or “essential” Sublime Text plugins, so I’m joining the party.
These are all Sublime Text 3-compatible plugins. I have a number of other plugins installed, but these are the only ones that I would immediately miss if I did a fresh install of ST3 (along with the Ubuntu Mono font).
- Alignment
Makes your code like pretty and more readable by lining up selections based on “=” “=>”, etc. Great for arrays. - GitGutter
Unobtrusive display of uncommitted changes in the gutter (next to line numbers). - Trailing Spaces
Highlights and trims unused whitespace at the end of lines. - SideBarEnhancements
Gives you way more options for dealing with files in the sidebar. I just wish I could figure out how to delete a file with shift+delete. - SublimeLinter
Highlights errors in your code as you type. - Laravel Blade Highlighter
Provides color-coding for Laravel’s blade templates.
I’ve really wanted to like other editors, and there appears to be a big push toward PHPStorm in the Laravel community right now, but ST3 is just too fast, too pretty, and too customizable for me to change.
