SublimText editor is one of the coolest code editor I found, it is Mac favorite. When we install the software it as let us choose open with option, which let us open file with Sublim. How to configure this manually?
I found VS Code already included to the context menu. Let’s add the option to context menu using Windows Registry. (What is a Registry ? It keep track all the members(apps,settings etc) of the Windows).
This involves following step
- Open Windows Registry
- Find *\shell
- Create new Key,value
Create New Keys,Value
Login as Admin and open Run dialog using Windows + R . Enter regedit in the Run windows. We have to find the */Shell key. The easiest way to do is type the following lines below the File menu.
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\
Under the shell we have to create one new key and value with a command sub key as follows.
Open with Sublime Text
- Create another Key under the Sublim Tex as command
- Modify the command default value on the right panel as C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe “%1”
Now you can open a file in Sublim using the context menu.
* Please do all these with care. Don’t attempt to change any system related entries
