"caret_style": "phase" kinda fade blinks!, sure kinda cute

additional folder_exclude_patterns that I have

        "node_modules",
        "app/components",

Kinda related:

sudo ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/bin/subl

sets up sublime for opening files easily from the command line. Including files that you would need to sudo to save.

for instance

subl /etc/hosts

Thanks for the suggestions, I've added them and a few more excludes that I discovered I needed.
