Summary

https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/copy-function-limit/25913
I am working with 33 MB / 58 MB files (HMTL) and I am trying to copy-paste text.

I also have to kill plugin-host, since loading takes forever (as an alternative to disable all features, without persisting through restarts). Does not help (although it goes faster)

Expected behavior

Sublime is able to recognise big files and ask to go into "performance mode": No plugins, no highlighting (more correctly, no processes that depend on reading the file from start to finish multiple times).

Preferably only for the tab - Run-Once is a suitable workaround too.

Simple regex search / multi-selection (and whatever teams thinks it's 'lightweight-enough' to support).

Actual behavior

Sublime crashes consistently on pasting 42M characters. Works on 21M characters though.

Steps to reproduce

1. Find a 55MB HTML file (cannot provide, privacy issues)
2. Notice the loading time to full responsiveness
3. Select ~ 42M characters, Copy
4. Attempt to paste

Environment

Ubuntu 16.04.3
Windows 8.1
