Compile or Syntax Check
Ctrl+B or F7 to compile and build your project.
Ctrl+Shift+B and select "Syntax Check" to check the syntax in your project without compilation.
This will run the MetaEditor in command-line mode and display the results in the Sublime Text console.
When result data is captured, you can navigate to results in your project’s files with F4 and Shift+F4. If available, the captured error message will be displayed in the status bar.
Syntax Highlight
Sublime Text will highlight your .mq5 and .mqh files in a convenient way. Since MQL5 and C/C++ are "sisters" languages, the highlight is very similar to C/C++.
Auto-Complete and Snippets
Start typing your code and Sublime Text will display the auto-complete options to accelerate your production. There is a bunch of common and prepocessor snippets, but you can create your own.
