Of course, you can write code in a standard Windows notepad, and it will even work if you set it to the right format and run it through the right program. But imagine how high the chance to make a mistake is if the editor does not highlight brackets, variables, objects, and other elements of the programming language syntax (and, of course, does not contain any debugging tools). That is why experienced programmers use special code editors, and one of the reference examples is Sublime Text 3.

What is this program

Sublime Text 3 is a cross-platform text editor designed for users looking for an effective but minimalist code editing tool. The editor is quite easy to learn, particularly because it has no toolbars or dialog boxes.

Functional

Sublime Text 3 offers many features that make writing code easier. Namely:

• Goto Anything is a handy feature that makes it easier to access files. It only takes a few steps to navigate to aspects of the compiled code, such as characters, lines, or words;

• Bracket matching is a feature that allows you to quickly identify an incorrect match. The editor directly highlights the appropriate sets of brackets;

• Multiple selection is a handy tool that allows you to quickly change lines of code on the go. Change the names of variables or even files;

• The presence of a powerful Python API in Sublime makes the text editor stand out from the competition. The powerful built-in API allows Sublime to achieve more functionality by allowing plugins to extend the built-in functionality.

With all this, Sublime Text 3 is cross-platform - it is available on Windows, Mac and Linux.
