Sublime 3.2.2 doesn't accept auto upgrade false in Settings!

#1

Hello i am trying to stop the New Update available for download in Sublime Text 3.2.2
But i checked from every where but i couldn’t find a relevant solution to this.
I used this command.
{
“auto_upgrade”: false,
}

Then when i try to save it shows an error "Error trying to parse settings: Unexpected trailing characters
in Packages\User\Preferences.sublime-settings:4:1

Could u tell me how can i achieve that with out any error.
Any suggestion is welcomed.
Thank you for ur time.

Firstly, the setting you’re looking for is "update_check": false.

Secondly, the error message you posted comes from the settings file being invalid json. It’s likely have a second set of {}, there should only be one. See the left hand pane as an example of correct formatting.

Absolutely i got it right this time.Actually i am beginning to understand this application.
By the way i also wanted the Esc key to directly close Sublime Text. In my previous attemt, i did
manage to get the Esc key to work but now it simply does’t work. Here is the sample.

// Settings in here override those in “Default/Preferences.sublime-settings”,
// and are overridden in turn by syntax-specific settings.
{
“update_check”: false,
“keys”: [“escape”], “command”: “exit”
}

I was wondering can u see this command tell me if i made some mistake.
That would be very kind of you.

Before creating the update check: false i had already assigned the line of txt that would “Quit the Sublime Text”, by simply hitting the Esc key. Now i can’t help but wonder now what happened.
I m having a hard time with this issue.
Could anyone of u , know the tricks to do so.

Keybindings are not placed in the preferences file, they need to be in a separate keybindings file. See Preferences > Key Bindings.

i see that escape feature goes well and is accepted without errors in the key binding of the Preference table. And the “auto_upgrade”: false, goes well in the Setting table.
Now all is well. Thank u “bschaaf”, that was helpful. U got to love Sublime text.
