Ever write a paper without a plan for what you're typing? Or even a plan for what you're writing about? If the first case applies to you, this Sublime Text plugin may be helpful (in the second case, do drop me a line if you find a good solution).
Place your cursor inside an equation-style environment and press ⌘+Shift+C (Ctrl+Shift+C on Windows or Linux) to cycle between:
\[ \begin{equation} \begin{equation*} \begin{align} \begin{align*} $ \[
=> => => => => => => ...
\] \end{equation} \end{equation*} \end{align} \end{align*} $ \]
Some details - for safety, this command only works if:
- There is only one current selection (cursor) active.
- Each equation delimiter is at the beginning of the line it appears on (excepting whitespace, e.g. indentation).
- The equation delimiters are within +/-10 lines of the current selection location.

If anyone other than me ever uses this package (or even reads this sentence), I'll consider putting it on https://packagecontrol.io/. A bit of a chicken-and-egg thing perhaps.
