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.

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.

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?

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?

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

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++.
