Installation
First, you have to find out the Packages directory.
- If you are using a portable version of Sublime Text, it is
Data/Packages. - If you are using an installed version of Sublime Text,
- On Windows, it is
%appdata%\Sublime Text\Packages. - On Linux, it is
$HOME/.config/sublime_text/Packages.

Patch Self (The Current Sublime Text)
- If you are using a unregistered dev build, this plugin should show a popup for patching when starting.
- If you are using a stable build, you can patch from the menu:
Help ⇒ Patch This Application
Patch External Sublime Text/Merge
If your application is installed in a place which requires admin/root permission to write, you can use this plugin to create a patched executable in a temporarily directory.

Q&A
How to Disable Sublime Text/Merge Auto Update?
This plugin usually just continues to work for future versions of Sublime Text/Merge. But if you want to disable the application auto update, you can set the following settings:
{
"update_check": false, // this works only if you have registered
}This Plugin is Suspicious
I don't think I do anything malicious, but you don't have to trust me. You can
- Do patching in a virtual machine and take the patched executable out.
- Do it by yourself. See https://gist.github.com/maboloshi/feaa63c35f4c2baab24c9aaf9b3f4e47
