My SublimeText setup.

pedram-sublimetext-setup.md

I'm running SublimeText 3 beta on MacOS, but this should apply everywhere. My user prefs:

{
	"always_show_minimap_viewport": true,
	"bold_folder_labels": true,
	"drag_text": false,
	"draw_minimap_border": true,
	"ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save": true,
	"highlight_line": true,
	"highlight_modified_tabs": true,
	"ignored_packages":
	[
		"Vintage"
	],
	"rulers":
	[
		120
	],
	"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
	"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true
}

Personally, I also download and use the Adobe Source Code Pro font:

Next, you'll want to install Package Control, which involves simply copy pasting a one-liner into your Sublime console:

Installing additional packages now is a breeze. This is what I use:

• Alignment, because I'm OCD with my code.
• Function Name Display, display the current function name in the status bar.
• GitGutter, highlight modified lines.
• rsub, edit files on remote systems via SSH tunnel.
• SideBarEnhancements, make the sidebar more useful.
• SublimeGit, this one isn't free and I'm still playing with it, so far so good though.
• SublimePythonIDE, this is the money maker right here. Lint, code completion, etc...
