How to install the latest version of the Sublime Text editor on Ubuntu or Mint.

Two years ago, WordPress introduced Gutenberg block editor together with the release of WordPress version 5.0. Gutenberg essentially became the default editor starting with WordPress version 5.0. While many people love the Gutenberg editor, some people hate it. If you’re one of the many people who hate the Gutenberg editor, you can simply disable it by installing a plugin called Disable Gutenberg. This plugin will revert back to the classic editor.
Once installed, you should be able to see the Classic editor.
After working with Gutenberg for so long, I forgot the speed and agility of the classic editor. It’s much faster.
Ubuntu and Linux Mint use nano as their default editor. You’ll see it if you try to edit crontab or visudo. Now, there’s nothing wrong with nano, but I prefer using vim instead. Here’s how to change the default editor.
sudo update-alternatives --config editor |
You’ll be prompted to change the default editor.
There are 4 choices for the alternative editor (providing /usr/bin/editor). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /bin/nano 40 auto mode 1 /bin/ed -100 manual mode 2 /bin/nano 40 manual mode * 3 /usr/bin/vim.basic 30 manual mode 4 /usr/bin/vim.tiny 15 manual mode Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: |
Type 3 to choose vim basic.
If you want to change the crontab editor, run the following:
$ select-editor |
Choose one.
Vim is a text editor. Edit the ~.vimrc
# vim ~.vimrc
