ST3/4 command palette empty on Linux

#1

I’m trying to run Sublime Text on an Arch container inside Crostini/ChromeOS. The CrOS part shouldn’t impact this much, since it’s a full Arch Linux userspace, just with an X11 tunnel to pipe the output out of qemu.

When I hit Control Alt P to open the command palette there are no options, even when typing in it.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

I use Sublime Text on my ChromeBook and I’ve never had this issue, so it should definitely work. One thing you could do is check the Sublime console (View > Show Console) and see if there’s any errors.

That said, Ctrl+Alt+P is the key binding for Project > Quick Switch Project, which opens a panel to allow you to choose from a previously used project or workspace, and that could indeed be empty if you’ve never used one previously.

So, if that’s the key you’re pressing that could be the issue; Ctrl+Shift+P is the key for opening the command palette.

… argh, I always get these keys mixed up outside of macOS. New install so no project history to guide me on my mistake. Thanks for correcting my dumb.
