How to show command name binded to a certain key?

How to show command name binded to a certain key?
For example, I want to know command name of ‘ctrl+o’,
but I can’t find method to do so.
Or, Is it possible to list table of key binding
such as 'Ctrl-h l ’ in Emacs?

The simplest way is to bring up the console and type:

sublime.log_commands(True)

then watch the output after pressing a key combination.

Alternatively, .sublime-keymap files is where key bindings are defined. You can look for those inside the Packages folder.

Thank you, guillermooo.

The simplest way is to bring up the console and type:

CODE: SELECT ALL
sublime.log_commands(True)

then watch the output after pressing a key combination.

According your hint, I found [menu: View > Show Console]
and it shows detail of command.

Alternatively, .sublime-keymap files is where key bindings are defined.
You can look for those inside the Packages folder.

I can’t find “Packages” folder under /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/,
but I found that [menu: Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Key Bindings - Default] opens
.sublime-keymap file.

Thanks.

That will take you to the Packages folder. Keep in mind that there might be many .sublime-keymap files, not just the ones shown under Preferences.
