In Sublime Text 2 or 3 (I use both, and the answer is probably the same for both), how do you change the hotkey of an installed plugin/package? (on Windows or Linux / Ubuntu)
I already know how to change the key bindings of built-in Sublime commands (Preferences > Key Bindings). For instance, one binding I already have is:
{"keys": ["ctrl+super+b"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "output.exec"}}
But in the case of a plugin, how do I know what string to use for "command"? Is there an easy way to find out what the "command" is for an arbitrary function in Sublime?
I would like a general answer that applies to any plugin one could install. Though as an example, today I'm trying to change the hotkey for a plugin called SimpleClone, which has assigned Ctrl+Shift+Right to Split Right. Ctrl+Shift+Right is a rather poor hotkey choice by the maker of the plugin since it already has a use in the operating system: when typing it selects the word to the right. Hence I want to change the assigned key binding.
If plugin has some shortcuts defined, they will be in the *.sublime-keymap
files. So if you want to find some shortcut I guess you could grep through all the *.sublime-keymap
files in Packages directories, but if you roughly know which plugin uses that shortcut you want to change that shouldn't be necessary :)
For example the Emmet plugin has keybindings defined in: Packages/Emmet/Default (Platform).sublime-keymap
.
You can copy the keybinding definitions from these files to your user keybindings file (Packages/User/Default (platform).sublime-keymap
) and modify them as you want.
