ST3 support

#1

Hello. Have you dropped supporting the third version or can fix some issues?

I still use ST3 and it feets my needs, but there are 3 annoying issues.

If you use the editor for a few days without closeing it, its memory consumption starts growing. From about 150MB to more than 1GB. I know I could just restart it, but the code foldings will gone then. Too bad foldings aren’t restorable.

Another issue is that sometimes shortcuts on a non-US keyboard layout stop working and you have to change the layout to US every time to copy/paste for example. Could it be related to OS (xubuntu 22.04)?

And sometimes the code foldings become messy like they have wrong positions.

It’s unclear what’s causing the memory leak. It could be a plugin, so I suggest temporarily reverting to a freshly installed state and seeing if it still happens.

The other two issues should be already fixed in Sublime Text 4 and I don’t think there’s any other way to fix them.

You can try Formatter as it supports ST3 and restores code folding states:

// Remember and restore cursor position, selections, bookmarks,
// and foldings each time a file is closed and re-opened.
// This is helpful to resume your work from where you left off.
// It does not remember any sublime sessions as name might suggest.
