I used to love Sublime Text and used it for my daily driver. Even bought a license.

But just downloaded it again, and while it definitely felt snappy, after 15 minutes I still couldn't find a way to get TypeScript type checking working, or even any type of JavaScript/TypeScript autocomplete.



If you want IDE-like behavior you'll need to install the TypeScript LSP: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-typescript. We do have our own limited language-agnostic indexing and auto-complete if you open your projects folder; it relies on existing code to provide suggestions.


I installed that. Spent 15 minutes trying to get it to work. No joy :(


Oh, that's frustrating. I think it'd be great to have some more concrete guides for modern Sublime. Maybe I'll write one about getting TypeScript and everything working starting from scratch


If you are locked in to TypeScript, you are basically locked in to VSCode (albeit a "soft" lock-in).


Not really, I didn't see much difference between ST with all LSPs configured and VSCode. What features do you find missing?
