IDE-like features before saving file?

#1

Hi everybody,

I’m new to this forum and coding in general. I think I am done setting up Sublime Text for Python coding but one thing that I find kind of annoying is that I need to save the file as .py before getting any features like autocompletion, linting, shown documentation, etc.

Is this functionality intended? I would have thought that by setting the “build system” to Python it would already be implicit that I am coding in Python.

Maybe this is an Anaconda setting that I need to tweak? As Anaconda is the package behind these functionalities…

Thanks in advance
Shynn

You can change the syntax of an unsaved file/view/buffer either by clicking on the syntax area in the status bar (far right) or via Command Panel -> Set Syntax: Python. If you install the ApplySyntax package you can use that to set the default syntax for new files.
