Why does such a powerful SublimeText cannot Set "default_encoding": "GBK"?

Why does such a powerful SublimeText cannot set

“default_encoding”: “GBK”,

What do you mean by “support directly”? ST will always display the actual characters in a file, it’s not a wysiwyg editor. Though you could create a plugin or syntax definition for ansii colors.

“Support directly” means that users can directly edit gbk encoded text without other plug-in extensions.
such as editplus…notepad++…text…
GBK text can be complied directly
without coder33 or convertoutf8.

There is no such thing as an “ansii encoding” for text.

(´இ皿இ｀) such as ascii gbk…∩_∩

So you want to edit individual bytes. Sublime is a text editor, not a bytes editor. That said you can use e.g. https://packagecontrol.io/packages/HexViewer

Thank you very muchヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

It means I can directly use File->Reopen with encoding->GBK, rather than installing third party plugin.

GB18030 is backwards compatible with GBK and has been supported since build 4123 from 2021.

Thanks, I’m just looking for keyword “GBK” but missed GB18030
