I never looked into Sublime, because it costs money. But no doubt it is 
a powerful editor, judging from comments of other people.

I'd actually do this in gvim to put numbers at each line:

- Select text (by mouse, or v + cursor movements)
- ! awk '{print NR ". " $0}'

Yes, it is cheating, it pipes the selected text through an external 
tool. But why should I do the tedious exercise of constructing an editor 
macro, when an external tool like awk can do the same so much easier?
