Do you have any plans to add first class support for SSH based or docker based remote development workflows?

The current Rsubl implementation kinda works. But is a bit hacky for reliable everyday work.

We've certainly talked about it, but there aren't any concrete plans yet.

I love Sublime, I've paid for every version and I did the same for my devs for many years (when I had a company cc!). I would just like to say remote editing is the only thing I use vscode for. If ST had remote editing I and probably a lot of other people would use it more.

Once again, love sublime, just a suggestion :)

I remote edit with ST. I choose File | Open to get the native Open dialog, type 'sftp://my.dev.server' and press Enter. Username and password logs me in. Then I navigate to the folder I want, and open a file or folder in ST.

I don't use VS Code. How do you do it there that is so much better?

Not sure if it matches your use case or not, but I use sshfs with Sublime Text and it's just as good as local editing.

Install xserver (also works on Mac and Windows) then ssh -X to the container. Start sublime on the container, and the gui will show up locally.

I would second this - it works really well in VSCode and it's something I would happily pay for.

This is my #1 feature I'd like to have.

If you decide to add it, please make it flexible enough to configure all options OpenSSH provides.

There is a SFTP plugin that supports this to some extend but it's a serial file sync, not parallel like VSCode so it's painfully slow in comparison.
