My Favorite Sublime Text 2 Plugins and Setup

Sublime text 2 is my weapon of choice and the best code editor ever. In this post I’ve shared the plugins and preferences which i use for Front-end and WordPress development.

Theme, Color Scheme & Font

I’m using the most minimalist theme called Flatland Theme and mghDreamweaver color scheme by Max Hegler, this is the perfect Dreamweaver Color scheme for Sublime Text so far i’ve found, highly recommended for users coming from Dreamweaver.
