To make using Sublime Text 3 more convenient, you can add this to right-click context menu.

It will simplify ability to open any file and/or folder with Sublime Text right from Windows Explorer.

@echo off
SET st2Path=C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe

rem add it for all file types
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st2Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st2Path% \"%%1\"" /f

rem add it for folders
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st2Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st2Path% \"%%1\"" /f

In previous articles:

• How-to : Introduction to Laravel : Create Laravel Framework project on openSUSE Leap 42.1
• How-to : Introduction to Laravel : Publish Laravel Framework project on Apache 2.4

we created and published web project.

Now it’s time to try to do some development and modify out-of-the-box project to create our own application.

Question is what tools should we use to start code development.

You might want to have a look at two available for free:

Sublime Text

Download from: http://www.sublimetext.com

Visual Studio Code

Download from: http://code.visualstudio.com

Both apps can highlight syntax for PHP-based code, so both can be used for development purposes with Laravel web application.

Check them and decide which one will be better fit for you.
