Can you provide some way to generate JSON with comments from python ? That's basically the missing piece. The settings file is regenerated to integrate new settings automatically, including those from the linters you've installed.
A lot of settings are editable through the menus, the remaining ones should just be options for the linters.
The settings file is regenerated Ah, that solves the mystery!
I'm not a python guy and have no idea of any JSON encoder which outputs comments (and thus violates Crockford's diktat).
Interactive setting the options thru the menus is somewhat better than hunt-n-peck. I used to think that all packages should follow SublimeLInt's self documenting settings style, which is fine as long as the files are not auto-generated. But now I realize that in the course of evolution, that may just remain a "wish".
Oh well!
I think the super helpful, one stop shop has been relocated: http://sublimelinter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/settings.html
It's not in the neighborhood (in line) but it has got better stuffs.
Thank you for the complaint. I'm so sorry to have made your life so miserable.
So from this super helpful, one stop shop,
we landed to this "super bland, google, hunt, find, go to documentation, figure out which what where, keep flipping back-n-forth between browser and editor and then figure out settings" state.
After the proverbial 3 steps ahead, instead of moving 2 steps, we fell back 10 steps.
I understand the need for change, and I'm all for it - just don't take away niceties after spoiling your users.
