New to Sublime Text, recommend me some themes and plugins to make it a full blown IDE

#1

I have installed packages for languages like JAVA, JavaScript, etc. A terminal has been installed but I want to automate that like coderunner for VS code?
Is there any way to debug programs and turn them into a full-blown IDE?

Also When I create a new file it does not ask for an extension - like .java, .js On its own it creates Txt files—any way where I can do this by keyboard without renaming the file after it is being created?

Suggest some green or purple themes, I mainly work with HTML, CSS , JS , JAVA, Spring boot etc

please also mention important keyboard shortcuts

You should see the discussion at Sublime Text as main IDE

You could use Ctrl+Shift+P and type “syn ja” to see the command “Set syntax: Java”

See here https://docs.sublimetext.io/reference/keyboard_shortcuts_win.html

Yes there is, there is a program called debugger and it takes a bit of work to get it working but once you do it works like any other debugger out there, the downside is that you have to set it up manually every time you make a new program, so you need a config file and update it everytime you want to debug a new program.

It is not hard to set it up but takes a bit of playing around, also it depends which language you use I am not 100 percent sure it supports all languages I didn’t explore that much in depth about it, make sure you read about it thoroughly.

So for this make sure to set the syntax to whichever language you want to program in, plus when making files make sure you use the extension properly so .c or .py or .java and so forth, you will get used to it after some time and it will be helpful in the future, it is not that big of a deal to make them manually, I don’t know about any keyboard shortcuts about making new files with the proper extension if you find any let me know I am curious.

The one theme I know about which is purple retro stylish like is called Earthbound so you can give it a try if you want.
