When you type out something (seemingly benign) and tab to space things out, only to find that it auto completed instead it would be helpful to have the first step of Undo remove the completion, while keeping the tab, then have the tab removed on a second undo.

add an API or socket API for integration with the compiler tools, to have sublime beeing the editor of an IDE. see http://www.typerex.org/ for surrounding tools for objective caml. Typerex for now focus on emacs.

Pressing control-shift-F brings up
Find What:
In Location:

In the "In Location" box I can have <project> or <open tabs> or ... well I don't know what the special commands are! A dropdown box listing the options would be helpful, or autocomplete. Make it more "discoverable".

I almost always want to find in the entire project.


Also if I do find the item and it's in a file that doesn't have a tab, double click the found item line doesn't open up a new tab. Version 2126. But clicking the filename in the find box does open the tab. It should work for clicking on the line found in that file too.

Using Win 7 Build 2165.

The one feature I've failed to find in an IDE outside of Dreamweaver code view is simple sub-menu tabs for 'include' files within the open script. Its such a handy feature for jumping between associated files. I can even put an include statement within comments and it will appear on the sub-menu. And by right clicking on one of the menu items you can open it as a separate file if you so wish. great feature in my eyes.

Heres an image of what I mean...

dreamweaver sub-menu

You can see 'source code' is the file you are currently working on and the others listed next to it are linked to it within the file in some way. That could be an include statement, js file, css file....

If you are planning to go overseas for higher studies, here are a few things you should know about the health insurance you should carry.
1. Know your options
Unless the university makes it mandatory for you to buy the health cover it provides, you can waive it, especially if you are already covered as a dependant or want to purchase it privately. You can pick one from a local insurer in the country you are travelling to, or an Indian insurance company before you leave.
2. Compare cost
The university cover is much more expensive than one from a domestic insurer if you are studying in western countries. For instance, Columbia University's basic health plan with a $300,000 cover will cost $2,157 (Rs 1,29,420 @ Rs 60/$) annually. On the other hand, a domestic insurer, say, ICICI Lombard, offers plans with a cover of $500,000 at an annual premium of Rs 46,851. The rule changes if you are closer home, say, in China Medical University. The college charges 600 CNY (Chinese yuan renminbi) annually, that is, Rs 6,000 (@ Rs 10/CNY).
A cover from a domestic insurer will cost you around Rs 7,500 in this case. However, do not pick a plan solely on the basis of cost. Compare the cover How to gain size and benefits as well.
3. Factors to consider
Since you are travelling to a foreign country, consider features like cashless facility, network hospitals near your campus, claim settlement procedure and past record of insurer.
Though a domestic plan costs less, the university policy is likely to score more on these parameters and also cover pre-existing conditions. Another important factor is the sub-limits and deductibles. University plans usually have higher deductibles. For instance, while the plan from Columbia University has a deductible of $500 (Rs 30,000 @ Rs 60/$), the plan from the domestic insurer has a sub-limit of $100 (Rs 6,000). This means, if you are hospitalised and run a bill of $1,600 (Rs 96,000), the university plan will only pay $1,100 (Rs 66,000), while the Indian insurer will cover up to $1,500 (Rs 90,000).
Also, the university plan will cover only health. The domestic insurance is a bundled travel insurance and covers loss of baggage and passport too.
4. Continue with your plan
If you already have a health plan or are covered by a family floater policy, do not stop paying the premium. It is not a duplicate cover. The student plan will exist only for a few years till the time you are studying, but a regular health plan in India offers lifelong renewability. So, unless you plan to settle abroad permanently, don't end the policy. When you return, you'll be older and will have to pay more for buying a new policy.
Besides, discontinuing the plan will mean you'll lose the benefits accrued on it and will have to serve the four-year waiting period clause on pre-existing disease coverage all over again. Since you are young, the regular health plan premium won't be very high and losing these long-term benefits for a few thousand rupees will be imprudent.
5. Not mandatory
Having insurance is a must if you are going to study in the US, Canada or the Schengen countries. However, it is optional in the UK, Australia, China, and Southeast Asian countries like Singapore and Malaysia. It is important that you buy one in either case as health care is expensive in developed countries.
Since the cover is optional, you won't be advised by the college and will have to do your own research. Look for the country's health policy on the Net before deciding on the cover size and features. However, typically, there are study facilitation centres for international students, which can guide you on the insurance you are likely to need.

The indicated cursor position becomes detached from the actual position, and its easy to see because the line highlight and the cursor are clearing on different lines, the highlight is correct, the cursor is incorrect.

This seems to happen after deleting many lines, which I usually do using Ctrl-X. The file has to be reopened to correct it.

2.0.2 / 2221

Easy to install (no install), easy to use, lots of features... I've just downloaded it, tested and definitely, I will switch from Gedit + (lots of) plugins to Sublime! From now on, it will be my main editor for Django development and other languages/tasks. Fantastic job guys!!

Installed Windows in a fresh VM. Then installed Sublime 2.0.1 x64. Got the following error: 

"application failed to start side-by-side configuration is incorrect".

32bit worked fine. On all other my machines, including 2008r2sp1, but not vanilla (i.e. with updates etc) x64 works fine too.

I'm one of sublime user, it's light-weight and powerful editor. and for suggestion or request feature, i have a request to give a code tips while we tiping.. if we tiping function there will be a code tips to display description from the php documenter and available param from that function.. last, sorry for my bad english :)

Currently, the Go to line shortcut (CTRL+G in windows/linux) only allows to navigate to an specify line.

It would be nice to optionally allow the column number to be specified after comma, e.g.
:30,11
to go to line 30, column 11

Right now all of the open dialogs go to the last path used. It would be cool if the open project dialog stayed on the path where you store your project files. Basically store one last used location for file open and one for open project. Or this could be solved by adding a setting for project files location for easy project switching. Maybe this already exists in the settings and I don't know about it?

Gold Mining Deals Seen Rebounding on Price Discount: Comm

Investment bankers see gold-mining deals rebounding this year from a near-decade low as producers target assets at fire-sale prices after the metal plunged.

Gold-mining companies are close to their cheapest relative to book value in at least two decades, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Meanwhile producers will be enticed to replace some of the output lost when they sold or curtailed less-profitable mines, said Barclays Plc’s Paul Knight.

“Majors who have done portfolio optimization will look at some of the juniors and say, ‘Here’s a chance for us to acquire a potentially better asset than we’ve sold and to mitigate the loss of production,’” Knight, a Barclays vice chairman and co-head of global metals and mining, said Jan. 6 by telephone.

There were $10.1 billion of deals involving gold producers last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s 4.4 percent less than in 2012 and the smallest since 2004.

While gold deals declined, there were signs of a resurgence of activity in December as the value of transactions reached the highest monthly level since February. Goldcorp Inc. (G) and Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM), the second- and third-largest producers by market value, said in September they were evaluating the potential for deals to add low-cost operations.

Free Cash

Single-project developers such as Pretium Resources Inc. (PVG) and Torex Gold Resources Inc. (TXG) may be attractive to larger companies, according to Adam Graf, a New York-based analyst at Cowen & Co.

Pretium’s project in British Columbia has high grades, which will probably make it attractive to larger miners, Joe Ovsenek, the company’s chief development officer, said by phone. The Vancouver-based company is focused on developing the mine, he said. A spokeswoman for Toronto-based Torex didn’t respond to e-mails or phone calls seeking comment.

The larger miners may be better positioned to consider acquisitions than in 2013 after cutting costs. The 10 biggest producers by sales, led by Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX), may generate combined free cash flow of $4.17 billion this year, compared with a negative $1.74 billion in 2013, according to analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the highest for the group in at least eight years, the data show.

At the same time, exploration and development companies, which generally rely on regular financings if their projects aren’t yet generating revenue, may have more incentive to sell themselves.

‘For Sale’

The Standard & Poor’s/TSX Global Gold Sector Index lost almost half its value last year as the metal fell the most in more than three decades. As investors pulled out of the industry, explorers and mine developers struggled to sell shares. The group’s reported cash balance has dropped about 30 percent since 2012, while share sales by gold companies fell to the lowest since 2005, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

“Companies whose access to capital has been cut off because of the current market sentiment will be compelled to consider mergers to conserve cash and survive until conditions improve,” Michael Faralla, head of global mining investment banking at Toronto-Dominion Bank, said in an e-mailed response to questions. “Some of these companies may also elect to put themselves up for sale.”

Many miners may not find buyers. Some companies with good deposits and management will emerge as “winners” while others will be challenged as the industry gets smaller, said Joe Wickwire, who manages more than $1.5 billion at Fidelity Investments, including the Select Gold Portfolio.



‘Darwinism Is Alive’

“Darwinism is alive and well in the gold industry right now,” Wickwire said by phone last month. While ultimately there will be fewer companies producing less gold, “the profitability of the industry is going to go up.”

To be sure, the appetite for gold M&A will be tempered by high levels of debt and a newfound emphasis by the largest producers on returns rather than growth, said Neil Gregson, a London-based fund manager at JPMorgan Chase & Co.

“Lots of things can be done, but there are not that many consolidators around, and of course everyone thinks their share price is too low to use,” Gregson said by phone. “There’s not that many ready buyers.”

Deals with low-to-no premiums such as mergers of equals “could make a lot of sense,” because they give companies a way to transform their businesses, reduce costs and strengthen balance sheets, said Matthew Hind, the Toronto-based head of Canadian metals and mining investment banking for Credit Suisse Group AG.

Option to Diversify

The industry’s largest companies also may take steps to become more diversified into other commodities, according to Hind and Barclays’ Knight.

Recent signs of a possible upturn in dealmaking include Asanko Gold Inc.’s Dec. 17 agreement to buy PMI Gold Corp. (PMV) Another came the day before when Primero Mining Corp. (P) said it agreed to buy Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Brigus Gold Corp. (BRD) for about C$287 million ($267 million) including debt.

The Primero acquisition will give the Vancouver-based company a gold mine and a development project in Ontario, while Brigus will get access to funding to repay debt and finance its operations, the companies said.

Newmont’s Search

“We don’t expect the capital markets to ride to the rescue of everyone,” Peter Myers, head of investment & corporate banking, Canada and International, at Bank of Montreal, said in an interview in Toronto. “Ultimately the sector has to take care of itself.”

Newmont Chief Executive Officer Gary Goldberg said on Sept. 24 the largest U.S. gold producer was searching for acquisitions to add low-cost gold or copper output after asset valuations fell. Goldcorp continues to evaluate potential deals, CEO Chuck Jeannes said the same month.

Omar Jabara, a Newmont spokesman, declined to comment. Jeff Wilhoit, a spokesman for Goldcorp, said Jeannes wasn’t available to comment.

“We’ll see activity in the gold sector increase regardless of what happens with the gold price,” Mike Boyd, the head of global M&A at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, said by phone. “People will want to pursue consolidation and try to drive down their cost structures.”
