Garrr, great great :)

@kkirsche That`s good. But it would be better to leave that for personal likings.

@kkirsche Your suggestion was awesome! Really, I thought there was many people who don't know about those things, or even don't really wanna explore their Sublime, even that makes developing faster. Awesome, many thanks.

+1 perfect! thanks

So simple! Thank you. :)

As a starter for Sublime Text, then I'm very pleased and thankful for this.
Realizing how great the working environment is, thanks!
