Sublime Text Plugins

A collection of Sublime Text 4 plugins. Each plugin lives in its own directory and is installed as a separate package.

Plugins

Plugin	Description
Markdown Viewer	Live GitHub-flavored Markdown preview beside the file, plus Open in Browser.
Context Pack	Preview and copy selected code, open buffers, project files, and Git changes as a Markdown context bundle.
Plist Tools	Edit XML/binary plists and Apple profiles, check Jamf/Intune common keys, and inspect signed profiles.

Installing a plugin

Sublime Text loads packages from its Packages folder. To find it, use Preferences → Browse Packages…. Install a plugin by linking (or copying) its directory into that folder under the package name given in the plugin's README.

For example, on Linux:

git clone https://github.com/trevoedwards/sublime-text-plugins.git
cd sublime-text-plugins
ln -s "$PWD/markdown-viewer" ~/.config/sublime-text/Packages/MarkdownViewer

With a link, git pull updates the installed plugin and Sublime reloads it automatically. See each plugin's README for its commands, settings and other platforms.

The package directory names are MarkdownViewer, ContextPack, and PlistTools, respectively. Each package is independent and has no third-party Python dependencies. See its README for supported commands and limitations.

Building installable packages

From the repository root, run:

python tools/build_packages.py

This creates the three .sublime-package archives in dist/, including the license and excluding tests and Python caches. To build just the new plugins:

python tools/build_packages.py context-pack plist-tools

Copy the desired archives into Sublime's Installed Packages directory, beside its Packages directory. Use either an archive or a linked source directory for each plugin; keeping both installed can hide which copy is loaded.

Development checks

The new plugins include standard-library test suites that run outside Sublime:

python -m unittest discover -s context-pack/tests -v
python -m unittest discover -s plist-tools/tests -v

Requirements

Sublime Text 4. Plugins are written for Python 3.8, so they run on both the Python 3.8 plugin host (older Sublime Text 4 builds) and the Python 3.14 host that replaced it in build 4213.
