I have recently fallen in love with Sublime Text 2 editor for windows and linux.

In windows I don’t have this issue as much, as I don’t work from the terminal as often, but I would REALLY like to fully replace gedit with sublime in my ubuntu 11.10 install.

I have replaced it as my default program for all text files, but one place I still have issues is the terminal. I have formed the habit of typing gedit filename.txt & from the command line. Unfortuntately typing in sublime-text-2 filename.txt & seems to take years longer and I would really appreciate the convenience of fully replacing the keyword gedit with sublime-text-2.

Is this possible? If so, how?

I know I can autocomplete to sublime-text-2 with subli + TAB, but the habit I have formed in typing gedit is not proving to be an easy one to break.

I figured since it’s linux, anything is possible, but I am not sure where to start with configuing this. Thanks for any tips,

    You could just use alias command and add to your .bash_profile

    alias gedit='sublime-text-2'
