With Notepad++ - the one major plus it has over Sublime Text ( Sublime Text has around one thousand better features plus threading support for the ui and find in files to prevent locking up so this is just to illustrate I do like sublime Text ) is you can edit hundreds of lines at once ( hold alt and drag or click to add lines and different columns to start adding / editing, etc… ) before you notice any type of slowdown… With Sublime Text, selecting more than 4 or 5 and I start locking up…
I’ve tried disabling ALL ADDONS - but the issue persists… I have the select multiple lines button set to my middle mouse button at the moment… So I hold Ctrl and click middle mouse on a line to add that column / area, or drag the middle mouse through areas where I need to edit… If I’m fast I can select around 8 lines before I start locking up and before Sublime Text is incredibly slow in terms of responsiveness and selecting say 50 lines can take upwards of 1 minute before the window becomes editable again…
On an additional note ( this is a major problem everywhere ) Sublime Text doesn’t track where a mouse-up command has taken place, so when this lock up occurs, even with dragging windows… if you move the mouse AT ALL then a different action can be triggered… so instead of selecting just the lines you want in a straight line you can end up highlighting ALL of the text instead of none… Or moving a view / file in the tabbed MDI at the top can end up being dragged out to a new window because you dropped the tab next to another tab and then released, then moved the mouse away only to notice Sublime Text is taking its time - but because the tab was dragged by the mouse, Sublime Text believes it is still dragged despite the release happening seconds ago so it drops it under the mouse…
I’ll sublime both of these issues but I’m hoping to find a solution for these problems… It happens on brand-new installs of Sublime Text 3 - and on all 3 computers ( Windows 10 Pro on 1, Home on the other, and Windows 7 on one older laptop )…
