Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch dual monitor setup

I've had this tablet for a while, and setting it up in linux mint was even easier than on windows 7: plug and play. There's even a GUI for configuring it. Some great apps I use are Gimp, Xournal and Pencil.

But eventually I got tired of opening the configuration dialog to switch monitors, and mapping the tablet to the whole area is no good, because you loose too much presision beacuse of the extra sensitivity (smaller movements cause greater effects on screen).

So what I wanted was an easy way to switch between monitors. Here's what I did.

Made a simple script called wacom-map-to-output to change to a monitor:

ST3 hot_exit but keep old sessions

Sublimes hot_exit feature is awesome: Don't prompt me, remember the state of my open and unsaved files.... whatever. However, if most of the time you launch sublime with subl directory/i/want/to/open I get two windows: one for your previous session and one for the directory you want to work on. It's a pain to have to close what you were previously working on every time, so some people prefer to disable hot_exit and have sublime ask them if they want to save changes every time they close it.

I wanted to save the previous sessions in case I want to access them, but prevent them from opening when I just want to move on to something new. The last session is saved when you exit sublime to $SUBLIME_CONFIG_DIR/Local/Session.sublime_session. To get this effect I modifies the script that launches sublime /usr/bin/subl and /usr/bin/X11/subl (I'm on linux Mint, and have sublime installed to /opt/sublime_text, should be similar on Ubuntu, etc.) to look like the followi
