Restart Sublime Text 2

Usage

  • Open your project's directory (where the .hxml or .nmml resides) in Sublime Text, the build file should be detected automatically,
  • Edit your classes (check the cool snippets, like 'prop'-Tab)
  • Completion is triggered either automatically by dot and colon keys, or manually by Ctrl+Space.
  • Open parenthesis and comma keys display haxe type hints in the status bar

Shortcuts

  • Press Ctrl+Shift+B to either automatically generate an hxml file if none exist, edit the build file if only one build exists or select among multiple builds (--next)
  • Press Ctrl+Enter to run the current/selected build
  • Press Ctrl+I on a qualified class name to shorten it and generate the import statement. Safe to use if the class is already imported.
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+L to install a library via haxelib

Targeting NME

haxe NME is based on a specific .nmml file (the .hxml is generated) which is supported by this bundle.

  • press Ctrl+Shift+B to select a NME target
  • press Ctrl+Enter to build and run (regular Sublime Text build system won't work)

Troubleshooting

On Ubuntu, you'll probably need to install package python2.6

sudo apt-get install python2.6

For Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) you will need to install python2.6 by following these instructions: How can I install Python 2.6 on 12.04?
