@jbeddoes getting this error: gsed: couldn't open temporary file /Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sedkSVsli: Operation not permitted

../sedkSVsli isn't a bin we're targeting here. Your target is ../sublime_text
@sovedus recommends you make a backup of this file before using sed/gsed. Which on macOS you'd use the following two commands in terminal:
1: sudo cp /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text.bak
2: sudo gsed -i 's/\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01/\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90/' /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text

Awesome Hack!!!!!

Linux:

sudo cp /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text.bak
sudo sed -i 's/\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01/\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90/' /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

Thank you @sovedus

If u want to use it on windows, just open Powershell as administrator and copy this:

1. copy "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe" "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe.bak"
2. $file = "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe"
   $bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($file)

$search = [byte[]](0x0F, 0xB6, 0x51, 0x05, 0x83, 0xF2, 0x01)
$replace = [byte[]](0xC6, 0x41, 0x05, 0x01, 0xB2, 0x00, 0x90)

for ($i = 0; $i -le $bytes.Length - $search.Length; $i++) {
$match = $true
for ($j = 0; $j -lt $search.Length; $j++) {
if ($bytes[$i + $j] -ne $search[$j]) { $match = $false; break }
}
if ($match) {
[Array]::Copy($replace, 0, $bytes, $i, $replace.Length)
break
}
}

[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($file, $bytes)

Thank you @sovedus , great!!
