StringEncode

Converts characters from one "encoding" to another using a transformation (think HTML entities, not character encodings).

This plugin was intended to be used with selections, but if you don't have any text selected, it will act on the entire document. This can be handy (if you're base64-encoding a file, for instance), but also have unintended consequences. For instance, you probably should not use URL Decode on an entire text document.

Installation

1. Using Package Control, install "StringEncode"

1. Open the Sublime Text Packages folder
