Floobits plugin for Sublime Text 2 and 3

Real-time collaborative editing. Think Etherpad, but with native editors. This is the plugin for Sublime Text. We also have plugins for Emacs and Vim.

Development status: Reasonably stable. We dogfood it daily and rarely run into issues.

Windows

The Python included with the Windows version of Sublime Text 2 does not have the select module. This means the plugin won't work with Sublime Text 2 on Windows. Windows users must install Sublime Text 3 if they want to use this plugin.

Installation instructions

  • If you don't have one already, go to Floobits and create an account (or sign in with GitHub). (It's free.)

  • If you have Sublime Package Control, go to Package Control → Install Package and search for Floobits. Select the Floobits package and install it.

  • If you don't have Package Control (or you prefer to install the plugin manually), clone this repository or download and extract this tarball.

  • Rename the directory to "Floobits".

  • In Sublime Text, go to Preferences -> Browse Packages.

  • Drag, copy, or move the Floobits directory into your Packages directory.

If you'd rather create a symlink instead of copy/moving, run something like:

ln -s ~/code/floobits-sublime ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/Floobits

Configuration

All configuration settings are stored in ~/.floorc. If you don’t have a ~/.floorc file, the plugin will create one and open it in Sublime Text. It will also open a web page showing the minimal information you’ll need to put in your ~/.floorc. After saving the file, restart Sublime Text.

Using Floobits to Collaborate

After creating your account, you’ll want to create a workspace or two. A workspace is a collection of files and buffers that users can collaborate on.

See https://floobits.com/help/plugins/#sublime-usage for instructions on how to create workspaces and collaborate with others.
