customize sublime text themes

https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/wiki/Theme-customisation


To begin customising an existing theme, create a new file in your User folder (located in the Sublime Text Packages directory) with the same name as the theme file you are extending.

For example, to customise Soda Dark, create an empty file called Soda Dark.sublime-theme (or for Sublime Text 3 create an empty file called Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme) in your User folder.

From this point, any valid theme rules you place in this file will automatically be applied by Sublime Text when the related theme is active.

soda dark theme for sublime text

see commented-out section below for usage:

{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Tomorrow Color Schemes/Tomorrow-Night.tmTheme",
"ignored_packages":
[
"Vintage"
],
"show_full_path": true
}

// "soda_classic_tabs": true,
// "theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme"

use the hidden class instead of hide

jQuery ->
  if $('div.ground-school').length
    $(".previous-attempt-select").on "change", ->
      select = $(this)  #the select box from which an option was chosen
      quiz_id = select.val()

      detail_table = $(".video-thumbnail[data-videoid='#{lessonid}']").closest('table')
      detail_table_is_visible = detail_table.is(':visible')

Remove iBook citations with a keyboard shortcut

save the following script
open a terminal window
run the scripts (loops until you exit it manually)

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'clipboard'
loop do
  unless @clip == Clipboard.paste
    excerpt = Clipboard.paste
    puts "excerpt=#{excerpt}"
    cleaned = excerpt.match(/“([\n\w\d\s\D\W]+)”\n/)
    excerpt = cleaned.nil? ? excerpt : cleaned[1]
    puts "cleaned=#{excerpt}"
    Clipboard.copy(excerpt)
    @clip = Clipboard.paste
  end
end

sample run

the script will extract just the content between the quotes:

[smr@smr Desktop]$ ./remove-ibook-quotes.rb 

excerpt=“This rather obscure code, which you don’t need to understand in detail, arranges for precisely the behavior described above: it uses the minimum cost parameter in tests and a normal (high) cost parameter in production. (We’ll learn more about the strange ?-: notation in Section 8.4.5.)

”

Excerpt From: Michael Hartl. “Ruby on Rails Tutorial (3rd Ed.).” iBooks. 

cleaned=This rather obscure code, which you don’t need to understand in detail, arranges for precisely the behavior described above: it uses the minimum cost parameter in tests and a normal (high) cost parameter in production. (We’ll learn more about the strange ?-: notation in Section 8.4.5.)

Here's a ruby script that works for me

require 'clipboard'
loop do
  unless @clip == Clipboard.paste
    excerpt = Clipboard.paste
    cleaned = excerpt.match(/“([\n\w\d\s\D\W]+)”\n/)
    excerpt = cleaned.nil? ? excerpt : cleaned[1]
    Clipboard.copy(excerpt)
    @clip = Clipboard.paste
  end
end

use the clipboard ruby gem to copy and paste from the system clipboard

https://github.com/janlelis/clipboard

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# require 'clipboard'
# loop do
#   unless @clip == Clipboard.paste
#     excerpt = Clipboard.paste
#     cleaned = excerpt.match(/“([\n\w\d\s\D\W]+)”\n/)
#     excerpt = cleaned.nil? ? excerpt : cleaned[1]
#     Clipboard.copy(excerpt)
#     @clip = Clipboard.paste
#   end
# end

require 'clipboard'
# loop do
#   unless @clip == Clipboard.paste
    excerpt = Clipboard.paste
    # grab everything inside the printer's quoes
    cleaned = excerpt.match(/“([\n\w\d\s\D\W]+)”\n/)
    excerpt = cleaned.nil? ? excerpt : cleaned[1]
    Clipboard.copy(excerpt)
    puts "stripped text copied to the clipboard:"
    puts excerpt

    # @clip = Clipboard.paste
#   end
# end

compile bootstrap-3.3.6 using node and less

download source from:
http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#download

use homebrew to upgrade node if necessary

[smr@smr bootstrap-3.3.6]$ brew upgrade node

Error: node 5.1.1 already installed

cd bootstrap-3.3.6
npm install

or
grunt

gotcha - if you git co a branch that uses a different rvm ruby, ruby is not switched automatically

if you forget this, you can inadvertently install stuff to the wrong ruby/gemset/etc.

easy workaround: when you switch to such a branch, close and reopen the terminal window. this will cause rvm to load the ruby listed in .ruby-version
