Installing multiple packages in sublime text 3

Question

When installing packages in Sublime Text 3, is there anyway I can tick all the ones I want from a list, and then install them in one go? Or do I have to click Preferences > Package Control > Install Package, for every single package I'd like to install? Notepad++ for instance has a nice list with checkboxes...

Answer 1

Just use Preferences > Package Control > Package Control: Advanced Install Package.

Then you can enter a comma-separated package list, e.g. ConvertToUTF8,MarkdownEditing,SublimeLinter,SublimeREPL.

Also, note that you could just press cmdshiftp (on OS X) or ctrlshiftp (on Windows) and type the command name (Package Control: Advanced Install Package) or even part of it, like pcaip. This will be much faster than clicking menu entries.
