Sublime Text Cheat Sheets Plugin

Cheat Sheets is a plugin for quickly accessing cheat sheets in the Sublime Text editor. Typing the key sequence will open a cheat sheet in a new tab. If the cheat sheet is already open, it will activate that tab.

Installation

Package Control

The Cheat Sheets package is available in Package Control. Once Package Control is installed, install Cheat Sheets by opening the command palette Ctrl + Shft + P, type Install, and select Package Control: Install Package, then type and select Cheat Sheets.

Clone from Github

git clone https://github.com/dmikalova/sublime-cheat-sheets.git

Available Cheat Sheets

At the moment most cheat sheets are under heavy development. Feel free to submit your own sheets or edits. Be aware that edits to the defaults sheets will be erased by an update. If you want to safely edit a sheet, copy it from $ST/Packages/Cheat Sheets/cheat-sheets to $ST/Packages/User/cheat-sheets. If both folders have sheets with the same $filename then the one in $ST/User/cheat-sheets will be opened.

Cheat Sheets can be opened either from the menu: Tools > Cheat Sheets, the command palette by pressing Ctrl + Shft + P and typing Cheat Sheet, or from the following keyboard shortcuts:

Command	Keyboard Shortcut
Bash *	Ctrl + Shft + C, S, H
Git *	Ctrl + Shft + C, G, I, T
Github Flavored Markdown *	Ctrl + Shft + C, G, F, M
Go *	Ctrl + Shft + C, G, O
KDE *	Ctrl + Shft + C, K, D, E
Regular Expressions	Ctrl + Shft + C, R, X
Sublime Text *	Ctrl + Shft + C, S, T
* Incomplete sheet.

How to add your own Cheat Sheets

1. Add your cheat sheet to $ST/Packages/User/cheat-sheets/$filename.cheatsheet.

2. Add a keyboard shortcut by adding the following line to $ST/Packages/User/Default ($OS).sublime-keymap and change the keys and $filename:

   [
   	{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c", "n", "s"], "command": "cheat_sheet", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} }
   ]

3. Add a menu entry by adding the following to $ST/Packages/User/Main.sublime-menu and change both instances of $filename:

   [
   	{ "id": "tools", "children": [
   		{ "id": "cheat-sheets", "caption": "Cheat Sheets", "children": [
   			{ "caption": "$filename", "command": "cheat_sheet", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} }
   		]}
   	]}
   ]

4. Add a palette item to $ST/Packages/User/Default.sublime-commands and change both instances of $filename.

   [
   	{ "caption": "Cheat Sheet: $filename", "command": "cheat_sheet", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} }
   ]

   To add multiple cheat sheets copy and paste just the keys or caption line and add a comma in between each entry to all the above files.

5. Highlighting follows this format:

   >\t Header
   >\t\t Subtext
   Text
   Command \t Text
   Command \s\s Text
   \tCommand \t Text # Comments
   

   Where \t means tab and \s means space.

• If there's a problem, you can use the cheat_sheet_tester command. The tester command will print in the console the file paths where it expected to find your $filename. The console can be opened with Ctrl + ` or View > Show Console.

  The tester command can be run directly in the console with:

   view.run_command("cheat_sheet_tester", {"cheatsheet": "$filename"})

  The tester command can also be run as a keyboard shortcut with:

   { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c", "r", "y"], "command": "cheat_sheet_tester", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} }

External Programs

If you want to have access to your cheat sheets outside of Sublime Text you can use KLook on KDE, Gloobus on Gnome, Quick Look on OSX, or maComfort on Windows. However none of the these have syntax highlighting, and there's always the subl command to quickly open a file in Sublime Text.
