OS X's Sublime Text has this subl
command, where running it from the terminal will summon Sublime Text, in the background. This means that closing the terminal window will not close Sublime Text.
In Linux, we can do that with the help of nohup
. Assuming you have installed a sublime_text
command that opens a new process associated with Sublime Text, then you can do
$ nohup sublime_text &
When you close your terminal window, Sublime Text will still remain open.
