It hit me like a smack in the face.
Join Lines. One of the very first editor productivity tips I ever learned.
At the time, I think I was using Notepad++.
When I discovered that there was a keyboard shortcut to join two lines of code, removing the hard return and extra whitespace, I couldn’t believe how much time and effort I’d wasted doing it by hand. Usually with the mouse, I’m ashamed to admit…
(Sublime has this same feature, naturally. It’s in the menu under Edit | Line | Join Lines.)
To this day, Join Lines one of my favorite shortcuts.
How about you? I’d like to hear about your favorite Sublime tip.
What’s the one thing in Sublime you can’t live without?

What problem does it solve for you?
