Sublime VS 2017-2019
Visual Studio Extension that provides some capabilities similar to those in Sublime Text.
Note - The latest version available here: SublimeVS latest
The SublimeVS extension bundles and installs several other extensions that provide some of the features found in Sublime Text.
It also includes a keyboard shortcut mapping scheme, which, if applied, will import most of the common Sublime Text shortcuts.
Together with the imported features, and the applied shortcuts, users familiar with the Sublime Text editing experience might feel more at home using Visual Studio.
