dd a system wide windows explorer button " Edit with Sublime" similar to how Notepad++ does it or some other editors?
See attached screenshot.
(I know this is an old thread, but since I dropped by looking for the same information and found it elsewhere, so here goes.)
If you've installed Sublime from the zip, follow the instructions from
http://www.howtogeek.com/107965/how-to-add-any-application-shortcut-to-windows-explorers-context-menu/
Scroll down to 'chapter' by the name 'All file types'.
Taking the above page's guide as an example, you can add a shortcut key to the context menu item by adding the text you like to 'Open with Nodepad' -key's (Default) string.
Here's my setup as exported from regedit:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellOpen with Sublime Text 2]
@="Open with S&ublime Text 2"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellOpen with Sublime Text 2command]
@="c:\apps\tools\sublime_text.exe "%1""
