Warning

Warning

If you encounter the WinError06 when you are trying to build a C++ project this is because you renamed and/or your added a keyboard shortcut to your Sublime Text 3 shortcut.

This issue happens on the Sublime Text 3 portable version. Not sure if with the installer it does the same.

This issue is a bit annoying and I didn’t find a solution yet.

If someone find a solution to this issue and see this S.O.S. please send me and email at :

Tip

You don’t need to add keyboard shortcut to every single program. If you plan to be a developer for example just add a quick access to your terminal, your text editor, your web browser and your media player because sometimes it saves your life.
