How add Comments to Keymap file?

[ldm_as]

Hi All,

How can I add comments to the Keymap (Keybinding) file?

Thank you!

// comment
...

Wait. Doesn’t the left side default file have comments?

No… But is it possible to add them?

The default bindings do indeed have some comments in them, for example the last one in the file:

	// HTML, XML close tag
	{ "keys": ["/"], "command": "close_tag", "args": { "insert_slash": true }, "context":
		[
			{ "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "(text.html, text.xml) - string - comment", "match_all": true },
			{ "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_match", "operand": ".*<$", "match_all": true },
			{ "key": "setting.auto_close_tags" }
		]
	}

If your question is how you add comments to your own bindings, then @jfcherng answered that above. If your question is can you add comments to the default bindings, the answer is no, the file is read-only and can’t be modified.

If you want to comment the default bindings, copy them to your key bindings file on the right and comment them there .
