Just a quick note to convey the information in the title there. Thanks to some lovely help from the community (especially @friedegg, @seemack and @bobfourie) the SAS package for Sublime is now more functional than ever, and is finally installable via the wonderful Package Control.
So if the previous, janky installation procedure has thus far kept you from trying out Sublime for SAS programming, do please give it a whirl.

Sublime Text, Intel Graphics and CTRL-ALT-ARROW hotkeys
Just in case this saves someone else (or future me) some head-scratching.
Work issued me a new laptop, onto which I promptly installed ST3. When I first hit ctrl-alt-down arrow to go into column select mode my display turned upside down. I've seen this dozens of timesby now--this is the graphics card add-on program making it easy to rotate my display (though why 180 degrees is a useful rotation that they want to serve is unclear). I hit ctrl-alt-up arrow to put things back to rights, and then go into the system area to look for the (in my case Intel) icon to turn off its hot-keys.
But now I go back into ST3 and those key combos don't work at all. Display stays properly oriented, but my sublime cursor moves noplace.
Is ST3 even receiving those keypresses? I open its console with ctrl-` and type "sublime.log_input(True)" to turn on key event logging. Nada, zip, nothing--something is completely eating those keypreses. I google for a bit (mostly finding posts from people who have inadvertently rotated their displays and don't know how to un-rotate them) and didn't find anything useful.
So I pull up the full Intel HD Graphics Control Panel app and go into the hotkeys section:
For a goof, I tried re-defining the rotate-y hotkey combinations from ctrl-alt-::something:: to shift-alt-::something::.
I enabled hot-keys & tried sublime again. That worked. Then I disabled hot-keys and it still worked. So I'm calling it a fix. This seems like a bug in Intel's utility though--it seems to be eating keystrokes that it's been told to ignore.
