Sublime Text is a very popular text editor, and for a while now it's had marginal D support. What has changed recently is updated syntax highlighting to support all the new keywords that have come in the last couple of years and UDAs https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/commit/b9026cf6ab8ccd05e3704d21b2d5d5cc21450aca.

Syntax highlighting was mostly based on D1 before, but now it supports every thing to pure and nothrow to correctly highlighting number literals with underscores.

In order to use this, you can either wait until a version of sublime is released with these changes, or you can download the dev version here https://www.sublimetext.com/3dev, and then install the new packages as described here https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages#installation.

Thank you, this is very much welcome!

Wishlist:
Will we see some dub support integration for building? I find when using rust the cargo build support is excellent, I wish we had this for D in sublime :)

I actually didn't do this, I just complained on their issue tracker :)

I use dub with sublime currently by using sublime's custom build system. Just go to "Build System" under tools, click new build system, and add in the following

{
    "cmd": ["dmd", "-g", "-debug", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^(.*?)\\(([0-9]+),?([0-9]+)?\\): (.*)",
    "selector": "source.d",
    "path": "/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin",

    "variants": [
        {
            "name": "Run",
            "cmd": ["rdmd", "-g", "-debug", "$file"]
        },
        {
            "name": "unittest",
            "cmd": ["rdmd", "-g", "-debug", "-unittest", "$file"]
        },
        {
            "name": "dub",
            "working_dir": "$project_path",
            "cmd": ["dub"]
        }
    ]
}

Now in your D project, select the build system you just created, click shift command B, choose dub, and then command B, and now your building with dub.

I've updated my blog post on ST3+D to reflect your build system tips.

Thanks!

I think the sublime D-Kit plugin has dub building support.

Also thanks Jack, I have been using sublime for D for a while now, its great but the highlighting kind sucks. My hope is sometime in the future dcd will have support for semantic highlighting along with the great auto complete it already provides.

Is there any way to get that to build in a terminal window rather than Sublime's inbuilt build window?

Great news!

Recently, I worked a little on adding rudimentary dfmt support (like clang-format) to Sublime:

Build 3098 (3099 is the latest) now contains these changes. So all you have to do is download the dev build of Sublime.

This package might be of some help to those who doesn't want to use dev version:

Bumping this thread because these new features are no longer in beta: build 3103 is out.
