Sublime Text Preferences File

Over the past few years, I’ve picked up a few cool settings for Sublime Text 2.

Remember to edit your Settings – User file, otherwise your settings get overwritten when ST2 is updated.

I’ve added a bunch of comments explaining most of them. This is meant as a reference. Please don’t just paste this into your settings.
