I have on my settings “open_files_in_new_window”: false, but when I dow super + , a new window opens with the settings instead of a new tab.
Open settings in a new tab instead of a new window

open_files_in_new_window
doesn’t affect the command edit_settings
(the command that is run when you press super+, on OSX by default.
Indeed:
OS X only: When files are opened from finder, or by dragging onto the
dock icon, this controls if a new window is created or not.
Alternative
If you only care about the User
setting file, you can just set a shortcut to open this one only:
{"keys": ["super+,"], "command": "open_file", "args": {
"file": "$packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings"
}}

Do note that:
- for comparison’s sake the settings are opened side-by-side in a new window
- your cursor will be in the user settings tab
- the whole window will close when closing the tab with the user settings
I’d suggest you keep the default behavior, because it doesn’t slow you down and you have a reference should you need it (when there are new settings you don’t know off the top of your head).
