How to change the keymap in SublimeText 3

#1

Hello friends,
I installed a SublimeText 3 before I used the ST2.

Part Preferences-> Key Bindings - Default I needed to delete this section { "keys": "ctrl+alt+p"], "command": "prompt_select_workspace" }, But there is not anything to write or modify it as disabled please advice how changes in ST3 “keys”?

All advance thank you very much.

How to redefine some default keys?

The default preferences are read-only.
But if you make settings in the user prefernces, they will override settings from default.

In your case do the following:

  • open “Preferences” - “Key bindings - User”
  • insert:
{ "keys": "ctrl+alt+p"], "command": "dummy" },

Now are the keys “ctrl+alt+p” without function.

@BugFix Thank you for your answer …
But it is my intention to that ST2 when I delete this line { "keys": "ctrl+alt+p"], "command": "prompt_select_workspace" },
I could have done using ctrl + alt + p ' ' <--And that's what I want to achieve in ST3

Sorry for inconvenience …

I would like to change ALL basic keys. My question is simple. How do I specify that a command is move one character left,right,up or down ??? Up/down can be a line too.

Is there somewhere a catalog of alternative keybindings available. Once I do mine I would like to contribute it to some library or similar for Sublime Text.

I would like to make all keybindings to be like those in WordStar / Borland editors.

Any help is truly welcome !!!

With Sublime Text (2021), Preferences > Browse Packages…

Duplicate the file ‘Preferences.sublime-settings’ to ‘Default.sublime-keymap’

Then follow instructions:

[
    {
        "keys": ["ctrl+shift+`"],
        "command": "diff_changes"
    }
]

https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/key_bindings.html

View next tab, previous tab with command + ] (on Mac):

[
   { "keys": ["super+]"], "command": "next_view_in_stack" },
    { "keys": ["super+["], "command": "prev_view_in_stack" }
]

I’m sure you accidentally mistyped here, but settings and key bindings are not the same thing.

Hi, in the folder where the file Preferences.sublime-settings is located, make a new file with the name ‘Default.sublime-keymap’ and there is where the changes should be added. (to make it easier since I am on a mac, I can duplicate Perferences.sublime-settings and rename that file).

For what it’s worth, It’s easier to just say Preferences: Key Bindings from the command palette or menu; Sublime will open a window and create the appropriate file for you if it doesn’t exist.
