Profile Switcher for Sublime Text
Problem
Code is best viewed in a narrow, tight font, with syntax highlighting, line numbers etc.
Prose writing is best done in wide font, generous line spacing, dim colors, width-limited column.
Sublime Text is great for both, but changing settings back and forth quickly becomes teduious.
Meet Profiles! Save all the settings you’ve changed at once and quickly return to them when needed.
Installation
Package Control: Install Package → Profile Switcher.
Usage
Create a new profile via Profiles: Create Profile command.
Edit your Sublime Text settings as usual.
Switch back to previous profile via Profiles: Switch Profile.
Bind a key to Profiles: Toggle Last Used Profile to switch even more quickly:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+w"], "command": "toggle_profile"}
Features
- Each profile remembers all the settings: font, scheme, line metrics, gutter, etc.
- Any number of profiles.
- Instant switching.
- Minimal (“automagical”) UI.
How does it work?
Profiles maintain a copy of Preferences.sublime-settings, one per profile.
When switching to the profile, current Preferences.sublime-settings is saved, and profile version is copied over current Preferences.sublime-settings.
Inactive profiles are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/sublime-profiles.
