Pressing enter/return no longer works in the overlay?

There are a series of new default key bindings added in ST4 for interaction with panels that use the select command for indicating that an item should be chosen from a panel. For example, here’s one of them: { "keys": ["enter"], "command": "select", "context": [ { "key": "overlay_has_focus", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }, { "key": "overlay_name", "operator": "equal", "operand" : "goto" } ], }, In ST3 there were no such bindings because the enter key was hard coded to alway…

thanks for the reply. i realize that the portion belows doesnt exists in my default-key binding:

{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "select", "context":
		[
			{ "key": "overlay_has_focus", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
			{ "key": "overlay_name", "operator": "equal", "operand" : "goto" }
		],
	},

so i add the portion in my user key-binding.it works. im not sure the situation if cause by i upgrade from st3 directly.

It’s described in the linked post. You have an override for the default keybindings. This is simply not advised and I’d suggest removing the override.

i checked the keybinding of the plugins what i installed.i definitely there’s no enter overrides. it makes me confused. i’ll remove st and reinstall it with the plugins i need later. thanks again.

You might just want to check, whether an Default folder exists in your Packages path then (see Menu > Tools > Browse Packages…).

It would override default bindings shipped with ST4 and thus break several functions.

Several reports about malfunctions have been seen on this forum which were caused by this reason.

yes，ur right。the Default folder is exists from ST3. thanks.
