A bit off topic, but it's better to ask here than to create another thread.

I'm teaching myself HTML, and CSS and JS (jQuery). Are there any essential Sublime Text packages that I have to install? I searched it on DDG but it wasn't very helpful (most of the articles were outdated).

PS: I only have "Package Control" installed.

Have to, absolutely not - but you'll find that Emmet is extremely useful for HTML.
Some non language specific ones I use constantly: SublimeLinter, Sidebar Enhancements, Git, Quick File Creator, FileDiffs.
Thanks for the tip on Quick File Creator. I'm a pretty heavy Sublime Text user and that just solved a pain point for me.

Another one that's useful for me in web-related work and not specific to any particular language is the Web Encoders plugin: https://github.com/revolunet/sublimetext-web-encoders -- I often use it when I need to test URL encoding/decoding stuff.
