Sublime Text - Preferences

To change preferences in Sublime Text:

General

• Go to Preferences » Settings
• Two files will now open: Default settings on the left and user settings on the right
• Edit and safe the file on the right. Make sure that everything is within one set of { and } symbols.

Example - Correct

{
   // "draw_white_space": "all",
   // 
   "font_size": 10,

   // Added: 2024.06.14
   //
   "tab_size": 3,
   "translate_tabs_to_spaces": false,
   "detect_indentation": false
}

{
   // "draw_white_space": "all",
   //

   "tab_size": 3,
   "translate_tabs_to_spaces": false,
   "detect_indentation": false
}

Language-specific

If you want to ensure that these settings apply to all file types or only specific ones, you can create or modify syntax-specific settings. For instance, if you want to set these preferences only for Python files:

• Open a Python File: Open any Python file in Sublime Text
• Open Syntax-Specific Settings:
  • Go to Preferences in the top menu
  • Select Settings - Syntax Specific
• Modify Settings: As before.
