bluemont / Default (OSX).sublime-keymap
Created March 9, 2013 08:51
Generate and insert a random UUID. Works with multiple selections: * If there are no selections, insert the UUID at each cursor position. * If there are one or more selections, replace the selection(s) with the UUID. I've tested this in Sublime Text 3, but it may also work for Sublime Text 2.
