Nice list, thanks. I've forked a PC version if anyone is interested https://gist.github.com/keeperhood/5452582

There are SO MANY keyboard equivalents, I can never remember them all

For tabs, you can also use ⌘⌥←→ to switch tabs left/right. Same goes for Chrome. I forked it if you're interested: https://gist.github.com/irosenb/5785324

Someone know how to move lines at editor like PC?

move the line up ^⌘↑

Thanks for the list! Very handy

Not ST2 keyboard shortcut, but extremely handy: create symlink in your path to ST2 for quickly firing up the editor in 'project mode' with the desired directory provided as argument:

cd ~/bin && ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" subl

then use it like this:

cd ~/workspace/myProject && subl .    # opens current dir
subl ~/workspace/fooBar               # opens fooBar (dir or file)

I'd give credit if i could remember where i stole this from!

⌘⌥ / (block comment) works for you?

Remember: on Mac you get some Emacs bindings for free on all Cocoa apps, including Sublime Text. Some of you may find binding your Capslock key to Ctrl easier on the pinky.

Nice.

If someone does not know the shortcuts:

⌥ Option
⌘ Command
⌃ Control
⌦ Delete
⌅ Enter
⇧ Shift
SP Spacebar
⇥ Tab

To place multiple cursers easily on multiple lines at the same place:
hold ⌥ (Option/Alt), click and drag your mouse

@kahlil Thanks for that shortcut!

Is there a Windows version of this Gist? I am particularly interested in the shortcut for "select all occurrences of current word for multiple editing" on Windows.

A lot of combinations :0

👍

i am not able to goto definition of a variable definition in c++ file, even the sublime text 3 shows only function definition when i press command+ shift + r. is there any way possible to get it ?

i ve become mad with sublime text, i love it but missing these few things is driving me mad.

Many thanks.

Is there a way to close the current tab? i know you can close the window but i don't see anything for closing the current tab you're in.

@joshbedo ⌃+w to close current tab. @mkstix6 you have found the answer?

Hey, anyone could help me?

I was used to sublime on windows, when i used ctrl+H for replace and i had an text highlighted, was automatically copied to find field. Now when I use cmd+option+f even if i have something highlighted the field shows empty or with last search. Can I have the same experience from windows with this? There is another shortcut?

Is there any short-cut key for finding word in whole project

Does the commenting shortcut only work for certain programming languages? It works when I'm editing .java files but not .groovy. Any clue as to why?

Any shortcuts for deleting matching brackets?

⌘+w closes current tab for me.

Nice I will be using this! Thanks!

Hello Experts, I am searching for a Linux shortcut to move tabs in Sublime text, I do not mean switching tab but moving them.
Tab 1 is the first of 3 tabs and I want to move it as last. Thanks

Does anyone know shortcut to find all of one word and delete it?

@shalins Command + Control + G

Having little experience with sublime Text, how do i quickly find a text with in a file ?

CMD + F will get me find but I need to copy + past search text into the search box. Surely there must be a quick way to get the selected text with in search box, like notepad++.
