Sublime Text is an excellent editor for writing code. It can be extended with various packages to support many programming languages. The sections below give general settings, key bindings, and LSP configuration on macOS.

Preferences

In the menu select Sublime Text, Settings..., then Settings or press Command-Comma to edit the main settings (preferences) for Sublime Text.

// Preferences.sublime-settings

{
    "color_scheme": "Mariana.sublime-color-scheme",
    "hot_exit": "disabled",
    "trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": "all",
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage",
    ],
    "font_size": 13,
    "folder_exclude_patterns": [
        ".svn",
        ".git",
        ".hg",
        "CVS",
        "__pycache__"
    ],
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    "update_check": true,
    "index_files": true,
    "scroll_past_end": 0.5,
}

Key bindings

    { "keys": ["super+alt+q"], "command": "wrap_lines" , "args": {"width": 100} },
]

LSP settings

Go to Sublime Text, Settings..., Package Settings, LSP, Servers, LSP-pyright to configure Pyright for Python in Sublime Text. These settings are ignored if they are defined in a pyproject.toml or pyrightconfig.json file. See the [Pyright docs] (https://microsoft.github.io/pyright) for more information about these settings.

// LSP-pyright.sublime-settings

{
    "settings": {
        "pyright.disableOrganizeImports": true,
        "pyright.disableTaggedHints": true,
        "python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides": {
            "reportUndefinedVariable": false,
        }
    }
}
