Then config the plugin to use the Kaleidoscope command line tool by uncommenting one line in the config file.

ReadMe Please is a must-have Sublime Text plugin. Trigger the plugin and select any installed plugin to instantly read the ReadMe document. It’s available in Package Control.

A nice little plugin for Sublime Text to find any conflicting keyboard shortcuts. Also available through Package Control. By way of @SublimePackages
