Connecting Evernote with Sublime Text 3

I love Sublime Text 3 and use Evernote a lot. Today I’d like to share how to connect Evernote with Sublime Text 3. This is useful because most of the time I store my code snippets in my Evernote account. And since I’m using Ubuntu, there is no native Evernote client, so the only way I can use it is through the Evernote web app.

To cut it short: to connect Evernote with Sublime Text 3, I’m using a Sublime module called sublime-evernote. You can see the source on GitHub.

Installation

  1. Install Sublime Package Manager. If it’s already installed, skip this step.
  2. Open the command palette, find “Package Control: Install Package”, search for “Evernote”, and install it.
  3. Open the command palette, find “Evernote Settings: Reconfigure Authorization”.
  4. Then you need to put the API key from your Evernote account. Click here to get it.
  5. Save it and finish the installation.

How to create a note

  1. To create a new note, open the command palette and look for “Evernote: New empty note”.
  2. Fill in the title, notebook, and tags.
  3. Write the content of your note below.
  4. When you are finished you can save it back to Evernote via the command palette: look for “Evernote: Send to Evernote as a new note”.

Open and update a note

  1. To open an existing note, first open the command palette and look for “Evernote: Open Evernote note”.
  2. Find your note using the search box.
  3. You can update your note.
  4. When you are finished you can save it back to Evernote via the command palette: look for “Evernote: Update Evernote note”.
