Dear all,

some weeks ago I've started to switch to the sublime editor (https://www.sublimetext.com/) for writing gretl code.

Even though I like the simplicity of the gretl editor and its features such as syntax highlighting and auto-itendation, it lacks some features of modern IDEs such as "goto-anything", "goto-definition", custom keybindings, fancy themes, git-implementation, snippets etc. which make life much easier when working on larger projects. Don't get me wrong, the gretl editor is great but was _never_ supposed to become a proper software-development IDE but rather has another focus which is totally fine.

So I started to write the "Hansl-Gretl-Language" package for sublime which includes the following features: - 3 gretl build-systems (client mode, batch mode, and REPL mode) for executing hansl code by means of sublime (plots are also working!)
- syntax-highlighting
- completion of gretl commands, accessors and keywords
- some snippet examples for speeding up coding

The project still has the following (known) issues:
- no auto-itendation (still have to figure out how this works)
- issues with some corner-cases which are not syntax-highlighted (regex can become so hard!)

The package can be downloaded through sublimes package control system, and can be found here: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Hansl-Gretl-Language

If somebody wants to participate on this project, check out the code on my github repository:

For those interesting in the sublime editor, check out "OdatNurd"'s brilliant tutorials on youtube:

Enjoy the package,
Artur
