To get up and running quickly:
- Find a server for the language of your choice in the list of language servers and follow its setup instructions.
- Open a document in your chosen language - if the server starts successfully then its name will be shown on the left in the status bar.
Sublime Text can now utilize your GPU on Linux, Mac and Windows when rendering the interface. This results in a fluid UI all the way up to 8K resolutions, all while using less power than before. Auto-save is available through Sublime Package Control and is the recommended way to install. Alternatively, you may install via GitHub by cloning this repository into the Packages directory under Sublime Text's data directory: On Mac. It is totally a different and refreshing experience to code within Sublime Text, compared with shell, terminal of MAC and even PyCharm. The flexibility of packages enables users to change the code interface and environment as preferences, and some of the packages can even improve the efficiency of programming.

About This Package#
The package 'LSP' is an acronym for Language Server Protocol. This is a specification for the communication protocol for use between text editors or IDEs and language servers - tools which provide language-specific features like autocomplete, go to definition, or documentation on hover.This package acts as an interface between Sublime Text and your language server, which means that to obtain these features you need to install a server for your language first.Language servers can be provided as standalone executables or might require a runtime environment like Node.js or Python.Many new concepts not native to Sublime Text are in use. For an overview of these concepts, please see the Features page.
When we are participating in a programming contest, our aim is to be as quick and as efficient as possible. However, often the tools we use during contests are clunky, non-intuitive and impede our speed. The following post will help you set up Sublime Text in a way that leads to a good workflow - from reading the problem statement to submitting the solution.
Setting up the Environment
1. Install MinGW Compiler
MinGW is a native Windows port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Install the latest MinGW compiler, after downloading from here.
Your path should preferably be C:MinGW. Finally, add the bin directory, C:MinGWbin to the System PATH.
2. Install Sublime Text
Sublime Text is one of the most popular editors for development in general. It’s smooth and fast compared to other editors (being written in C++ helps that speed). Sublime also has tons of plugins you can find through Package Control. Download and install Sublime Text 3 from here.
3. Create a build system
Sublime Text provides build systems to allow users to run external programs. Create a new build system for Sublime Text for setting up C++ compilation.
Go to Tools > Build System > New Build System. Paste the following code in the file and save it.
This can be used for piping input from the inputf.in file, and output to the outputf.in file. Note that this uses the -std=c++17 flag to enable the latest features of C++17. If you don't want this or want to use C++14, replace this with the -std=c++14 flag.
4. Setup window layout
Create three new files, file.cpp, inputf.in, and outputf.in. Select View > Layout > Columns : 3. This will create three columns in the workspace. Move the three files into the three columns. Select View > Groups > Max Columns : 2.
The windows will look like above when you are done. Write a hello world program, and test its working. Use Ctrl+B to build and execute the file.
5. Precompile headers
Now we can speed up compilation time by precompiling all the header files as mentioned here, i.e. by precompiling the bits/stdc++.h header file. This can speed up compilation time by up to a factor of 12.
For this, first, navigate to the stdc++.h file. This will be located at a directory similar to C:MinGWlibgccmingw326.3.0includec++mingw32bits. Right click while pressing Shift to open a Powershell/cmd window there. Run the command g++ -std=c++17 stdc++.h, to compile the header. Take care to use the same flags you used in your build system. Check to make sure that the stdc++.h.gch file was created in the directory.
Finally, we can take advantage of the features of Sublime Text, namely snippets and completions.
Sublime Text features
Snippets
Snippets are smart templates that will insert text for you and adapt it to their context. Read up on the documentation of snippets at the official guide. You can create snippets like the following to quickly insert snippets of code into your file.
You can also create starter templates like these :
Completions
Sublime Text suggests completions that aggregate code or content while writing by catching everything that you have written, like variable names. Read up on the documentation of completions at the official guide. You can create completions like the following to quickly enter common phrases into your file.
Sublime Text 3 Download Windows
This provides an experience close to code completion, with the advantage that you can customize it to phrases you frequently type.
You can create snippet or completion files by putting the corresponding code in a .sublime-snippet or .sublime-completions file.
Sublime Text 4 Download
So that's the basics out of the way, you can now begin coding. You can also explore various other features present in Sublime text, especially its plugin functionality and the most common plugins. You can also install themes to change the look and feel of the windows. There are other features that you may want to use so I’ve provided some further reading.
