Key Bindings
Create the file
- In the
Preferences
menu - Go to
Package settings
- Go to
SortBy
- Click on
Key Bindings - User
This will open / create a key bind file for the entire application.
Change the key binding
When the file is created or opened, you need to override the key binding that you want.
- Copy the key binding from Default.sublime-keymap that you want to override (copy the entire JSON object). Example
{
"caption": "SortBy: Natural order",
"keys": [
"ctrl+shift+alt+q"
],
"command": "srtbyli",
"args": {
"sort": "natural_order",
"reversed": false
}
}
In this example, the key bind is ctrl+shift+alt+q
- With the JSON object in your clipboard, add it to the created file, by making sure to wrap it in a JSON array (
[...]
). Example
[
{
"caption": "SortBy: Natural order",
"keys": [
"ctrl+shift+alt+q"
],
"command": "srtbyli",
"args": {
"sort": "natural_order",
"reversed": false
}
}
]
- Change the
keys
to the key binding that you want.
Disable the old key binding
If the old key binding is causing issues, you can disable it with the following JSON objet; just add it to the created file.
{
"keys": [
"ctrl+shift+alt+u"
],
"command": "noop"
}
