PackageDev - The Sublime Text Meta Package

PackageDev provides syntax highlighting and other helpful utility for Sublime Text resource files.

Resource files are ways of configuring the Sublime Text text editor to various extends, including but not limited to custom syntax definitions, context menus (and the main menu), key bindings.

Thus, this package is ideal for package developers, but even normal users of Sublime Text who want to configure it to their liking should find it very useful.

Installation

If you haven't installed the package already, do so using Package Control. The package's name is PackageDev.

PackageDev was made for Sublime Text 3. An older unmaintained version can still be installed for Sublime Text 2, however.

Getting Started

Syntax highlighting for various resource files is available immediately.

Various commands, for example creating a new resource, are made available through the command palette (Primary+Shift+P) with the "PackageDev:" prefix and in the main menu under Tools → Packages → Package Development,

Note: The Primary key refers to Ctrl on Windows and Linux and Command () on macOS.

What's Next?

Detailed feature descriptions can be found in the sidebar.

Resource files that don't have more than a syntax definition, snippets, completions and a command to create them do not get their own page. See [Creating a Package](Creating a Package) instead.
