I have the sublime text editor located in usr/bin. How can I make it the default editor so I can do sublime /var/www/test.php?

And can I change the default terminal to yakuake?

Even without setting it as the default, sublime /var/www/test.php should work (as long as /usr/bin is in your PATH and sublime has the executable bit set). To set the default program for something, look at the documentation for update-alternatives.

@SomeoneLikeYou The directory and files are usually rwxr-xr-x. – Chris Down Feb 13 '12 at 12:29
