I have read every article available but no luck. Can anyone help me. If anybody want more information tell me comment section.
Also if I install Sublime using .dmg file and drag it into Applications folder it works fine.

How to make sublime_text command return from terminal after the app is opened
I try run my Sublime Text 4 in terminal. And I am using MacOS. However, I see after I run the command of sublime_text, it does not return until I manually turn off the Sublime Text. This is my commands: % alias subl="/Users/yaohuazhuo/Desktop/Self\ Installed\ Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/...
I try run my Sublime Text 4 in terminal. And I am using MacOS.
However, I see after I run the command of sublime_text, it does not return until I manually turn off the Sublime Text. This is my commands:
% alias subl="/Users/yaohuazhuo/Desktop/Self\ Installed\ Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text -w"
% subl
2025-01-30 16:54:33.108 sublime_text[14540:707456] +[IMKClient subclass]: chose IMKClient_Modern
So I tried different options, including removing the "-w". And I have even tried the "nohup" from this post:
https://superuser.com/questions/178587/how-do-i-detach-a-process-from-terminal-entirely
But it still shows "appending output to nohup.out" and the command line is still not returned
So how can I make the command return/detach from terminal after the sublime_text is opened?

What does it mean when a software update needs to "send apple events"?
I've recently upgraded macOS from some 4 year old version of macOS 10 to Sonoma 14.7.2. I then installed a new version of Sublime Text, which frequently asks me to download the latest update. After clicking "download" and then clicking "install", a macOS message box opens warning me of Sublime Text'...
I've recently upgraded macOS from some 4 year old version of macOS 10 to Sonoma 14.7.2.
I then installed a new version of Sublime Text, which frequently asks me to download the latest update. After clicking "download" and then clicking "install", a macOS message box opens warning me of Sublime Text's intention to access Finder and send "apple events".
I think that software updates will need to access Finder, but I've never before heard of sending apple events and I don't know what that means. Do the "events" refer to accessing Finder only, or does it refer to contacting the Apple corporation, or something else?
>“Sublime Text.app” wants access to control “Finder.app”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Finder.app”, and to perform actions within that app.
>
>A program run by Sublime Text requires sending apple events
Alas, I see too late that there is a "?" button on the top right, but an answer here will reach other readers as well, so I'll keep this question here.

Is there some other header file specific to Mac that is needed to be included instead of this or some tweaking that is needed to be done to Sublime Text 3.Thanx in advance!

**Desired Behavior:**
Sublime Text should close without asking anything and when reopened it should preserve the open texts files
**Things I tried:**
Opened Settings and added hot_exit: true but this didn't have any effect.
The following pic shows the settings:

Export/Import Sublime Text 3 Configuration Across Two different Apple Computers

I am learning
git command-line. I wish to set Sublime Text as the default editor for entering commit message, when I run the git commit command from Terminal.
But when trying to do so, I am running into the following error:
> error: There was a problem with the editor ''/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl' -n -w'.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.
What could be going wrong? How do I resolve the error message, and set things such that Sublime Text opens automatically for entering commit message when running git commit command from Terminal.

I'm trying to use Sublime Text 3 as Git's editor.
I ran this:

Then this:
git config --global core.editor "subl -n -w"
I then ran:
git commit --amend
Sublime opened and I edited the file, saved it, and then closed it. However, Git was still waiting for the file to close:
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file...
- There is no error message.
- I can use Sublime with no problems outside of Git.
- I tried restarting the machine (MacBook Pro).
- Using
textedit works as expected: git config --global core.editor "open -W -n"
- The version of Sublime is: 3.2.1 Build 3207
- Git: git version 2.17.1 (Apple Git-112)
Why isn't this working?

Alternative to CTRL + C of macOS Terminal in Sublime Text 3
On macOS terminal ctrl + C terminates the program running. In Sublime Text, cmd + B runs a program such as Python, Ruby or such. If I want to terminate a running code, what is the shortcut key in Sublime Text 3 equivalent of ctrl + C ?

But since it's two different choices, there's obviously a difference. Couldn't find information about this anywhere.

I'm trying to copy my code from Sublime Text 3 into my Word document in RTF format with colors in tact by using this plugin:

python3 branch is also available. Just `git

Well...I'm a noob when it comes to all the stuff it's describing. I went to /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/MacOS and ran git checkout python3 but got fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git. I think I need to install git? Or Python3? I'm not sure exactly where to start or even if this git stuff is worth Googling, as I'm not even sure if I'm running the command in the correct directory or even if the plugin indeed is compatible with MacOS (even though their screenshots of using the plugin on Sublime Text 2 are in MacOS on the GitHub ReadMe...)
I would greatly appreciate some guidance
