codemp-sublime/README.md

codemp is a collaborative text editing solution to work remotely.

It seamlessly integrates in your editor providing remote cursors and instant text synchronization, as well as a remote virtual workspace for you and your team.

Codemp-Sublime

This is the reference sublime plugin for codemp maintained by hexedtech

Important

The plugin is in active development. Expect frequent changes.

Installation

Important

Currently the python bindings are only available for macOS, this will change shortly.

Package Control

The fastest and easiest way to install Codemp is via Package Control, the de-facto package manager for Sublime Text. Package Control not only installs your packages for you, it also ensures that they are kept up to date to make sure that you always have the benefit of the latest bug fixes and features for all of your installed packages.

If you are new to Sublime Text and don't have Package Control installed yet, you'll have to do that first. More recent builds of Sublime Text have an option in the Tools menu named Install Package Control... that will install Package Control for you. (won't show if package control is already installed!)

Currently this package is not on the sublime package repository. But it can still be installed by package control.

• Open the command palette in Sublime (Shift+Ctrl+P on Windows/Linux or Shift+⌘+P on MacOS)
• select the Package Control: Add Repository command and paste https://github.com/hexedtech/codemp-sublime.git into the quick panel
• open the command palette again and select Package Control: Install Package and select codemp-sublime.

Manual

Alternatively you can simply git clone this repository into your Packages folder: You can access it via sublime through Settings -> Browse Packages....

You will need to keep the package up to date yourself.

Usage

Overview

• All sublime windows share a single client session with a server.
• The workspaces are window specific, similarly to a sublime-project. So you can open workspace-1 in one window and workspace-2 in another, so long as both are in the same server and you have access to them.
• Joining a workspace will materialize a virtual file system mimicking the remote one as if it were a project folder.

Quick start

• first connect to server with Codemp: Connect
• then join a workspace with Codemp: Join Workspace
• attach directly to a buffer with Codemp: Join Buffer and start typing away!

all commands will provide a list of available ids to chose from
