Sublime Text Mikrotik plugin for text highlighting & auto complete

I had some challenges that I had to resolve on a network (more of that in my next post), and could only access the CLI with the need to see the complete config at once, I used Sublime Text to view the file however having to look at any log or configuration file in one colour is not fun.

Had a quick look and was in luck, there is a Mikrotik Sublime Text plugin, many thanks Kentzo. It can be installed via package manager or be found on Kentzo's Github repository.


The simplest method of installation is through the Sublime Text console as described here. The console is accessed via the ctrl+` shortcut or the View > Show Console menu. Once open, paste the appropriate Python code for your version of Sublime Text into the console.

import urllib.request,os,hashlib; h = 
'eb2297e1a458f27d836c04bb0cbaf282' + 'd0e7a3098092775ccb37ca9d6b2e4b7d';
 pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = 
sublime.installed_packages_path(); urllib.request.install_opener( 
urllib.request.build_opener( urllib.request.ProxyHandler()) ); by = 
urllib.request.urlopen( 'http://packagecontrol.io/' + pf.replace(' ', 
'%20')).read(); dh = hashlib.sha256(by).hexdigest(); print('Error 
validating download (got %s instead of %s), please try manual install' %
 (dh, h)) if dh != h else open(os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write(by)

After that simply go to Preferences > Package Control > and select install Package; then type the package you want to install.
