Features:

As long as the number is partially or fully selected, or while the cursor is on the number, this plugin will format or unformat it in the following way:

Before	After
12345	12,345
12,345	12345
12345.67	12,345.67
12,345.67	12345.67

This plugin supports multiple cursors and multiple selections. It can process both formatted and unformatted numbers in one go.

Options

To change the settings, simply edit the NumberFormatter.sublime-settings file that's included with the plugin:

• decimal_separator - the character that separates between whole and decimal numbers
• thousands_separator - the character that groups numbers in the thousands, millions, billions, etc.
• format_thousands - whether or not to add a thousands separator to numbers between 1000 and 9999

Warnings

• Numbers with preceding zeros are formatted anyway (000123 » 000,123)
• When the thousands_separator is set to an empty space (" "), the whole number must be selected in order to unformat it (12 345 » 12345)
