Prompt if need elevated permission to save on Windows (and Linux if that also doesn't work)

I can confirm that this does not work in linux.

I want to point out, as in the original topic, that if the file does not exist, but the write permissions of the directory require root (or admin for windows I suppose) that it just gives an error instead of elevating privileges to write to the directory.

This basic issue is a year old. It has been fixed for Mac and marked as completed (Apple is all that counts?). This has got to be a joke. I paid 60$ for a text editor that is not taken care of at all. Last update has been half a year ago and I keep running into basic issues. Really...... 

Support for Linux would be awesome!

+1 for Windows support please.

This would be awesome, still stuck with "sudo vim" for stuff I want to edit with superuser permissions.

Linux++

+1 for windows

As a workaround on Linux, you can try something like this:

EDITOR="subl -w" sudo -e /etc/hosts

What I do, and is really not comfortable, is: change files/folders permissions to me, edit/save, return them to apache. Maybe my situation could be improved, hw, it was the only solution I was able to do.... (just working with linux for a month :-/)

Just created a plugin solving this problem on windows and linux https://github.com/azubr/Superlime

Many Thanks for the plugin azubr. I think is not the best solution but It works three years later. Great work.

Thanks for the plugin azubr, works great.
