Sublime Text 3, how to add to right click?

Question

How do I add Sublime Text just like how Edit with Notepad++ is there it\'s nothing big but it saves time.

Answer 1

Just create a reg file subl.reg and open it with a text editor and add the content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Sublime Text]
@="Edit with &Sublime Text"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe,0"
"MuiVerb"="Edit with Sublime Text"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Sublime Text\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Sublime]
@="Open with Sublime Text"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Sublime\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe\" \"%V\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Sublime]
@="Open with Sublime Text"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Sublime\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe\" \"%1\""

You may need to adapt the paths to your Sublime Text installation. This will add Sublime Text when you rightlick on a file, rightlick on a folder background, and rightclick on a folder. Just double click on the file to add the entries into your registry.

You can always edit and delete those entry by pressing window+r and then write regedit in that panel. There you will see the same path structure, e.g. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell for right click commands.
