Proper keybind to set syntax?

[iansebryk]

SSD cratered and took my ST3 configs with it. i can’t remember how to keybind syntax changes. can someone help me out or point me to the oddly-unfindable spot in the docs? need to swap between PHP, JS, and HTML. and, NO, i’m not just going to use the command palette…

If you don’t know how to get the command and arguments for a specific operation, you can enable command logging via sublime.log_commands(True) from the console and then do whatever you are interested in. I am pretty sure the cmd/args for switching to a specific syntax can be captured by that.

@jfcherng didn’t know about the command log feature! cool! thank you. problem is, when i try to bind them, it does nothing.

{
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+h"],
    "command": "set_file_type {'syntax': 'Packages/HTML/HTML.sublime-syntax'}"
},
{
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+j"],
    "command": "set_file_type {'syntax': 'Packages/JavaScript/JavaScript.sublime-syntax'}"
},
{
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+p"],
    "command": "set_file_type {'syntax': 'Packages/PHP/PHP.sublime-syntax'}"
},

it saves without error, but the when activated, they do nothing. so something is off…
also, the hotkeys, when successful, show up in the menus. these don’t. so we’re certainly missing something in the syntax of… the… syntax… command…

{‘syntax’: ‘Packages/HTML/HTML.sublime-syntax’}

This is argument(s). So it should be

{
        "keys": ["XXXXXXX"],
        "command": "set_file_type",
        "args": {"syntax": "Packages/HTML/HTML.sublime-syntax"},
}
