Sublime is Simple and free to use, Light on memory, and can easily work with multiple projects. In this article, we will see how to use the terminal in a sublime text editor.

This will help you on Windows and Linux/Ubuntu as well.

There are super easy 5 steps to add terminal or command line access in the sublime.

• Open Sublime Text
• Install Pakage and Terminus
• Update Default sublime Commands Section
• Update Default sublime Keymap Section
• Access terminal or command prompt

Lets start with the stepwise implementation..

Stepwise implementation:

Step 1: Open Sublime Text

Step 2: Install Pakage and Terminus

Open Command Palette using command Ctrl+shift+p

Type the below until the option appears and select it.

Package Control: Install Package

Note: You’ll need to install package control if you are using it for the first time.

Type ‘Terminus’ and select it. Wait for it to Complete installation and Restart sublime text.

Step 3: Update Default sublime Commands Section

Now go to Preferences >Package Settings > Terminus > Command Palette

Now paste this code in the Default sublime Commands Section

[
   {
        "caption": "Terminal (panel)",
        "command": "terminus_open",
        "args"   : {
           "cmd": "bash",
           "cwd": "${file_path:${folder}}",
           "title": "Command Prompt",
           "panel_name": "Terminus"
        }
   },
]

And save it.

Note: The above code is for Linux users for Windows users you have to enter “cmd.exe” in place of “bash”

Step 4: Update Default sublime Keymap Section

Now go to Preferences >Package Settings > Terminus > Key Bindings

Now paste this code in the Default sublime Keymap Section and save it:

[
   {
       "keys": ["alt+1"],
       "command": "terminus_open",
       "args" : {
           "cmd": "bash",
           "cwd": "${file_path:${folder}}",
           "panel_name": "Terminus"
       }
   }
]

Note: The above code is for Linux users for Windows users you have to enter “cmd.exe” in place of “bash”, also here we kept the shortcut key as “alt+1” you can use your own key.

Step 5: Access terminal or command prompt

So whenever you want to use terminal press alt+1 and to close terminal type exit in the terminal and hit enter.
