What is a .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file?
The .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file is a type of configuration file specifically used by Sublime Text, which is a popular text editing program often used for editing source code. This file contains settings that determine how text files are displayed and edited within the editor. These settings can include preferences like the size of indentations, the type of font used, whether lines wrap automatically, and more.
The .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file is particularly useful for customizing how different types of files are handled by Sublime Text. For example, you might have one set of preferences for HTML files and another for CSS files. This file allows you to specify unique editing behaviors such as the color scheme of the text area, the display of rulers on the side, whether spell check is active, and how many spaces are used to represent a tab.
To modify these preferences, you can edit the .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file. In Sublime Text, there are typically two of these files: one called User File Type.sublime-options and another called Default File Type.sublime-options, both located in the Packages/Default directory. It's important to edit the User File Type.sublime-options file rather than the Default File Type.sublime-options to ensure that your custom settings are not lost when Sublime Text updates to a new version.
For instance, if you are working with Python files and want to customize the settings for these files, you would look for the .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file in the Packages/Python directory. If you have set up a specific .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file for Python files, Sublime Text will use these settings every time you open a Python (.PY) file.
It's worth noting that the .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file format was used in the first version of Sublime Text but was replaced by the .SUBLIME-SETTINGS file in later versions, starting from version 2. Therefore, if you are using a more recent version of Sublime Text, you might need to use the .SUBLIME-SETTINGS file instead.
To open and edit a .SUBLIME-OPTIONS file, you simply need to use Sublime Text itself. Just navigate to the appropriate directory, open the file, and make your changes. Remember to save the file after editing to ensure your preferences are applied.
