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.
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.
-
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
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.
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.
