Sublime: Column and Row Workspace Panes

Sublime 3 tips, tricks and shortcuts.

Are you more a productive coder with multiple files open? ST3, like any good text editor, allows you to see files side by side, so that you won’t be switching back and forth between an HTML file and its CSS document:

To view two column (vertical) panes side-by-side use the shortcut ALT-UP-2 (PC) or OPTION-⌘-2 (Mac). Replace the last stroke with “3” or “4” to view three or four panes respectively. Using “5” produces a 4 pane grid.

To view two row (horizontal) panes side-by-side use the shortcut SHIFT-ALT-UP-2 (PC) or SHIFT-OPTION-⌘-2 (Mac). Replace the last stroke with “3” to view three panes respectively.

A column split in half using ST3’s Group feature

If you want to split a pane further, you can use ST3’s “Group” feature. Use CTRL-K, SHIFT-CTRL-UP (PC) or ⌘-K, SHIFT-⌘-UP (Mac) to create a new group inside a pane.
