Sublime Text

Syncing Sublime Keyboard Shortcuts between Devices

I use syncthing to synchronize my keyboard configuration between devices so as my workflow changes and grows I don’t have to repeat the same configuration procedures on multiple devices.

Linux

ln -s "/home/yuriy/Syncthing/Configurations/Sublime/Keymap/Default (Windows).sublime-keymap" "/home/yuriy/.config/sublime-text/Packages/User/Default (Linux).sublime-keymap"

Windows

mklink "C:\Users\yuriy\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\User\Default (Windows).sublime-keymap" "C:\Users\yuriy\Syncthing\Configurations\Sublime\Keymap\Default (Windows).sublime-keymap"

Syncing Sublime Session

Session data is saved in: C:\Users\yuriy.zinchuk\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Local Can move it to Syncthing folder by creating a symlink:

# remove folder with: 
rd /S /Q "C:\Users\yuriy.zinchuk\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Local"

# create symlink junction (Preferred)
mklink /J "C:\Users\yuriy.zinchuk\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Local" "C:\Users\yuriy.zinchuk\Syncthing\Configurations\Sublime\Sublime_Local"

# create folder symbolic link (Less used, but works with network locations)
mklink /d "C:\Users\yuriy.zinchuk\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Local" "C:\Users\yuriy.zinchuk\Syncthing\Configurations\Sublime\Sublime_Local"
