Package control key press issue

#1

My package control stopped responding to super+ahift+p (“cmd” in my case).
I’ve gone to the site and tried to install it again through the console, but it didn’t work.
It used to work, because I have on my system some packages installed by it.
In the dir Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3 I have a Packages and a Installed Packages folder, so maybe that has something to do with it Any ideas on what it might be?

As a first step, I would check your user settings and make sure that Package Control hasn’t found it’s way into the list of ignored packages.

There is only the Vintage package that’s ignored

Sounds unrelated to Package Control, and more like the key binding to open the command palette isn’t working

There’s no package control keybinding in Preferences.sublime-settings
Does the package install it in a different file?
Plus I get this message each time I open sublime
plugin_host has exited unexpectedly, plugin functionality won't be available until Sublime Text has been restarted

Key bindings don’t go into sublime-settings files, they go into sublime-keymap files.

That said, PackageControl defines no key bindings, it just makes commands available via the Command Palette, which is opened using the key binding that you mentioned in your original post. That’s why I mentioned you should check and see if it accidentally got into the ignored packages list, since that can sometimes happen if you happen to restart Sublime while it’s updating itself.

Your larger problem would seem to be that the plugin host is crashing at startup though. Without that many packages won’t work properly.

You might want to try the instructions at the following URL to revert Sublime to it’s default state and see if the plugin host still crashes in that case. If it doesn’t, then one of your packages may be making the plugin host crash.

If that happens you can undo the revert, then add all of the packages listed in the Packages and Installed Packages folder to the list of ignored packages, and then slowly remove them from the list a couple at a time and restart until you find the one that’s causing the problem.

The package doesn’t crash all the time tough, still I think the best solution would be reinstalling the whole IDE, what do you think?
