Cheat Sheets is a plugin for quickly accessing cheat sheets in the Sublime Text editor. Typing the key sequence will open a cheat sheet in a new tab. If the cheat sheet is already open, it will activate that tab.
The Cheat Sheets package is available in Package Control. Once Package Control is installed, install Cheat Sheets by opening the command palette Ctrl + Shft + P
, type Install, and select Package Control: Install Package, then type and select Cheat Sheets.

At the moment most cheat sheets are under heavy development. Feel free to submit your own sheets or edits. Be aware that edits to the defaults sheets will be erased by an update. If you want to safely edit a sheet, copy it from $ST/Packages/Cheat Sheets/cheat-sheets
to $ST/Packages/User/cheat-sheets
. If both folders have sheets with the same $filename then the one in $ST/User/cheat-sheets
will be opened.
Cheat Sheets can be opened either from the menu: Tools > Cheat Sheets
, the command palette by pressing Ctrl + Shft + P
and typing Cheat Sheet, or from the following keyboard shortcuts:
Command | Keyboard Shortcut |
---|---|
Bash * | Ctrl + Shft + C, S, H |
Git * | Ctrl + Shft + C, G, I, T |
Github Flavored Markdown * | Ctrl + Shft + C, G, F, M |
Go * | Ctrl + Shft + C, G, O |
KDE * | Ctrl + Shft + C, K, D, E |
Regular Expressions | Ctrl + Shft + C, R, X |
Sublime Text * | Ctrl + Shft + C, S, T |
* Incomplete sheet. |
-
Add your cheat sheet to
$ST/Packages/User/cheat-sheets/$filename.cheatsheet
. -
Add a keyboard shortcut by adding the following line to
$ST/Packages/User/Default ($OS).sublime-keymap
and change the keys and $filename:[ { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c", "n", "s"], "command": "cheat_sheet", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} } ]
-
Add a menu entry by adding the following to
$ST/Packages/User/Main.sublime-menu
and change both instances of $filename:[ { "id": "tools", "children": [ { "id": "cheat-sheets", "caption": "Cheat Sheets", "children": [ { "caption": "$filename", "command": "cheat_sheet", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} } ]} ]} ]
-
Add a palette item to
$ST/Packages/User/Default.sublime-commands
and change both instances of $filename.[ { "caption": "Cheat Sheet: $filename", "command": "cheat_sheet", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} } ]
To add multiple cheat sheets copy and paste just the keys or caption line and add a comma in between each entry to all the above files.
-
Highlighting follows this format:
>\t Header >\t\t Subtext Text Command \t Text Command \s\s Text \tCommand \t Text # Comments
Where \t means tab and \s means space.
-
If there's a problem, you can use the cheat_sheet_tester command. The tester command will print in the console the file paths where it expected to find your $filename. The console can be opened with
Ctrl + `
orView > Show Console
.The tester command can be run directly in the console with:
view.run_command("cheat_sheet_tester", {"cheatsheet": "$filename"})
The tester command can also be run as a keyboard shortcut with:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c", "r", "y"], "command": "cheat_sheet_tester", "args": {"cheatsheet": "$filename"} }
If you want to have access to your cheat sheets outside of Sublime Text you can use KLook on KDE, Gloobus on Gnome, Quick Look on OSX, or maComfort on Windows. However none of the these have syntax highlighting, and there's always the subl
command to quickly open a file in Sublime Text.
This plugin is based off of Steve Hammond's Cheater plugin.
