Sublime Text 3 - SubMonkey

Hey all, having discovered Monkey on Reddit a few weeks ago I was interested enough to get my hands dirty and learn something new. I've really been enjoying it so far, but was really missing Sublime Text. I've used Sublime Text for years coming from a web development background so I was having a hard time transitioning to Ted.

I found Matt's original thread and repo( http://www.monkey-x.com/Community/posts.php?topic=593 ) and eventually Yahfree's updated version( http://www.monkey-x.com/Community/posts.php?topic=7946 ), but it needed some updating to get working again with the few changes to the build commands. With a few minor edits I have it working again.

I spun it off into a new project and renamed it to SubMonkey to go along with Package Control's naming suggestions and fixed up the readme a bit.

The new package can be found here: https://github.com/Russell-King/SubMonkey

There is still a lot of work need on the package overall as the changes I've made so far have been to just get builds working from within Sublime Text 3. I'm still learning Monkey, but as I go through tutorials I've been taking notes on what features the package has issues with. I'm shooting myself in the foot by needing to study two things at once (Monkey and creating a package), but it's a good learning experience overall =P

Anyways, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I can't afford a Pro license for Monkey just yet so I can't test other builds. More experienced eyes in what package features are missing or would be useful would be helpful as well.

Again, all credit goes to Matt for the original work and to Yahfree for the updated files that got me started.

As someone who just purchased Monkey and is looking for a better IDE, I appreciate your efforts as well.

Thank you Mike for the great book that I've been following while I take those notes :)
