I quite often use Sublime Text 3 as a general text editor for when I'm doing university assignments and other long-form writing. Recently, I came across Draft, which has this intuitive Hemingway mode, which prevents you from deleting what you've written, in attempt to get you to write first and edit later. Great, challenging idea.
So, since I didn't want to come accustomed to a new (and I suspect paid) writing environment, I don't really know Python that well, and I wanted a quick and easy solution to implementing this mode in ST3, I've simply unbounded all backspace and delete key bindings. When you want to disable this mode, simply comment out the lines, either by the keyboard shortcut for comments (Cmd+/ or Ctrl+/), or by trickily adding the comment yourself.
Enjoy!
