Hi,
Today I added shortcuts to ease typing curly quotes and it worked, kind of. The shortcut is Alt+[ but sublime is targeting what would be the [ key on an english keyboard.
I’m using an Brazilian Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard and the equivalent keys for [ and ] of an english keyboard are ´ and [, so I found the keys and they are working but how can I target the right key without worrying about the keyboard layout?
Thanks
You can use sublime.log_input(True) in an open console to find out what Sublime Text sees in your key presses.

key evt: alt+[ when I press the ´
key evt: alt+] when I press the [
On my keyboard. Sublime is targeting scan codes instead of virtual keys. Is there any special code to target virtual keys instead? Targeting virtual keys will make the bindings work on any layout.
You can not change st’s key mapping behavior. However, you can just set the binding to what detects as the scan code, i. e. Alt+[ or].
