When I do Project > Save Project As... ST writes a project and workspace file, but only for the active window. Attempting to restore from that project file will only restore that one window. How can I save a project with all windows?
Sublime Text 3 has workspaces. I believe 2 does as well, just click and drag your file onto the window and it should pop up.
So make a file you want to be your 'workspace' and click and drag it onto sublime text. When you done just save your work and exit. When you want to reopen it just drag that file onto the sublime text editor and it should all appear.
^ Is what i personally do and it works well.
Here is a link to sublime text 3 though in case you're interested. http://www.sublimetext.com/3

For an example after I go to the Project tab with Alt+1 shortcut and open specific file with pressing Enter I then want to go and edit content with single shortcut. Is there any way to do it?
There is couple of things that I can use, but neither does exactly what I want:
Ctrl+Tab - that opens the switcher and selects next file in switcher instead of allowing me to edit file with single Ctrl+Tab
Ctrl+E or Ctrl+Shift+E do different things but basically the result is simmilar as above
What I want is to simply edit the file after opening it with keyboard from Projects tab (without using mouse).
How can I move focus from any other tool window to text editor in PhpStorm?
Just press Esc key.
Works in every tool window. For built-in Terminal though you can (may have to) configure different shortcut for such action (as Esc can be needed there).

Use F4 for that (action is available in context menu and called Jump to Source).
Ctrl+Tab - that opens the switcher and selects next file in switcher instead of allowing me to edit file with single Ctrl+Tab
Just press and release it quickly: it works just like Alt + Tab on Windows. If you keep modifier key pressed (Ctrl in this particular case) it will keep the Switcher window opened.
I recently moved to Sublime Text 3 for development and trying to figure out a way in which I can know whether a file is saved or not just by looking at it in the editor. For e.g.
Eclipse puts a star in front of the file name if there are unsaved changes
Notepad++ changes the tab color as red
Is there any such easy to see visual cue in Sublime Text 3 to know if a file has unsaved changes?
By default Sublime Text displays dot (•) instead of x used to close tabs when there are unsaved changes.
You can make this highlighting of modified tabs even more distinctive using following property which causes modified tabs to have different color:
{
"highlight_modified_tabs": true
}
The color of modified tabs with this property enabled will depend on the theme you are using. If you want to change it, either change the theme or change the color manually in your settings. See this answer for more details on that.
In Sublime text there is a indication on the tabs, a full circle is not saved, a cross (x) is a saved file, indicating that you could close it.
Not saved file:

Today my Sublime 3083 became corrupted! I don't know why but every time I click on a file it opens on the same tab!
I cannot open two tabs at the same time. Fist file opens in a new tab and another opens in the previous tab and so on!
I did not installed any plugins recently. I just selected "Close Other Tabs" on menu.
What can I do?
Thanks
You must open the file using double click. If you open it using single click then you're using a feature called file preview, and that file will be closed when you preview other file unless the file has changes.
In addition, in the settings file you can set the preview_on_click option to false to disable the preview option; if you do that a click on the file won't do nothing, and a double click will still open the file in a new tab. As far as I know there's no option to open the file with a single click, only you can 'preview' the file (it's similar to open but the file get closed if you preview another file). Example setting:
{
"preview_on_click": false
}
I was facing a similar but little different problem. I was not able to view any tabs I was opening, and it was always opening a new file.
I fixed it by "View" -> "Show Tabs".
Is it possible to link project window/bar with editor? In eclipse there is button in project window called "link with editor". I would like to have exactly the same thing in PhpStorm.
Explanation:
Current active file opened in editor is automatically highlighted in project tree. If I change active file in editor to another, without even touching project window, it should change highlighted file as well. It should also keep current active file highlighted all the time if possible.
I didn't found such option in PhpStorm. If there is no such thing in PhpStorm, maybe there is plugin for that?
Just enable "Autoscroll from Source" in Project View side panel options (under "cog" icon or via right click on panel header/title)
I switched from Notepad++ to Sublime Text 3 last week and I'm loving it. I know Notepad++ don't have a feature like this also, but is there a plugin or setting on Sublime Text 3 that I can use to make a file always visible on my sidebar every time I open it? I have a single text file that has some login info and useful note for my development and I want Sublime to remember to at least add a shortcut on that file on my sidebar so that I can access it anytime I want to.
I want workdocs.php to be always visible on my sidebar when every I open my Sublime Text 3. Thanks in advance!
It's not exactly what you want but you could try Sublime FavoriteFiles:
https://github.com/facelessuser/FavoriteFiles
It's ST3 compatible and works well. You can assign keyboard short-cuts to the various commands or use Control + Shift + P to access them quickly.
