Several things to note here:

  1. Don't run Ubuntu as root user, and definitely don't run sublime as root.
  2. The name seen in the command line represents the following:
    • [USERNAME]@[HOSTNAME]:[PATH][SYMBOL]
  3. To get out of root account use the command: exit, then ENTER

Now in your case after chatting I decided to use the environmental variable $USER to change the ownership of that folder in question. So to fix that folder's permission:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/sommer/Desktop/examples/jquery

With that and running from the normal user account your sublime editor should be able to edit that folder contents.

You should be normally operating at a regular (non-root) level user as much as possible. By always operating at the root level any new files/folders you create will be owned by root and not you. This could cause problems like you are experiencing here. Trying using chown username:groupname filename or something of the like to change the permissions and see if that solves the issue.
