Sublime Text plugins I use

A File Icon adds icons to the sidebar for each file that make it easier to scan for things like Makefiles.

Alabaster is a syntax highlighting color scheme that gets out of the way. I prefer coloring comments and strings instead of a language's parts-of-speech.

Ayu is the most polished color theme I've been able to find. The light theme has orange accents.

BetterFindBuffer adds a color scheme to the otherwise-busy find results buffer.

BracketHighlighter emphasizes the braces that are surrounding the cursor, either with annotations in the text or symbols in the gutter.

DistractionFreeWindow gets Sublime Text closer to editors like iA Writer, on-demand.

EditorConfig keeps indentation settings consistent across projects.

Fmt runs a command when saving files that can modify the contents of the file. I use this to reformat Markdown without implementing a full LSP.

GitSavvy is a magit-like plugin that shows "dashboards" of Git status. I still use this despite almost entirely switching to Jujutsu for version control because it's so good at browsing history.

LSP is a language server protocol client for Sublime Text. It needs some finicky configuration for the particular languages being used, but once it works, it does a good job at jumping to all definitions and showing errors without a rebuild of the project. I've tried rust-analyzer, clangd and lua-language-server with it, so far.

MarkdownEditing conceals Markdown's bulky inline URLs and provides a few nice macros, like ⌘⌥V to create an inline link with the clipboard as the URL.

SublimeLinter isn't really necessary with the LSP plugin, but it can integrate linter-style programs into Sublime Text, when an LSP server doesn't exist (or work well). Linter programs also have a bit more of a style bent to them, which encourages using language idioms properly.

Terminus adds a terminal emulator as a tab or pane. The emulation isn't very accurate and it doesn't work well with complex TUIs, but it's often better than nothing.

Wrap Plus can reflow text to 80 columns.

Writer is a minimal syntax highlighting color scheme for Markdown prose, making it an ultimate writing machine.
