Key Bindings

By default, “Close All without Confirmation” does not add key bindings. However, you can easily set up custom key bindings by following these steps:

1. In Sublime Text, go to Preferences > Package Settings > Close all without Confirmation > Key Bindings - Default. This will open the default key bindings file for the plugin.
2. Copy the key binding for your platform (Windows, Linux, or macOS) from the default key bindings file.
3. Go to Preferences > Package Settings > Close all without Confirmation > Key Bindings - User to open your user-specific key bindings file.
4. Paste the key binding you copied from the default key bindings file into your user key bindings file.
5. Make sure to remove the “//” at the beginning of the lines to uncomment the key binding, then save the file.

The key binding should now be enabled and ready to use.

Suggested Key Bindings

For macOS you could use e. g. the following suggested key binding:

[
    {
        "keys": ["super+alt+shift+w"],
        "command": "close_all_without_confirm"
    }
]

A suggestion for Windows and Linux platforms:

[
    {
        "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+w"],
        "command": "close_all_without_confirm"
    }
]

Customization

Disabling the Confirmation Prompt

The plugin offers a customization option that allows you to toggle whether you want a single confirmation prompt before closing all files. By default, the plugin will ask you once, and you can then choose if you want to close all files in all windows or just the current one, or cancel.

However, you can easily change this setting to close all files in all windows without any prompt by setting the following options in your User settings:

{
    "ask_before_closing": false,
    "close_only_active_window": false
}

In case you want to only close the active windows' files you can set close_only_active_window to true.

To access the settings file, in Sublime Text, simply go to Settings or Preferences and then choose > Package Settings > Close All without Confirmation > Settings.
