Thesaurus // [ctrl+t]

#1

I installed it from the PM. Love the plugin, wish it had the ability to replace the word with the word I’ve selected, but I’ll save that for a different post. :slightly_smiling:

For this post, I just cannot find the [ctrl-t] [ctrl+t] keybinding. I’ve even tried to use grep to find it.

Even if I go into my user keybindings, and change it to:
{ “keys”: [“ctrl+alt+t”], “command”: “thesaurus” }

The ctrl+t still works as the keybinding.

Is it possible that it is hard-coded in the “Thesaurus.sublime-package”?

– np

edit { “keys”: [“ctrl+t”], “command”: “transpose” },

I of course found the transpose key, and can change or disable it… but it still doesn’t help me to locate the overriding ctrl+t from the thesaurus plugin.

On OSX, the binding is “command+t”, on the others it is “ctrl+t”. Are you sure the package installed and loaded correctly?

It’s installed correctly, and it works fine. I am just trying to locate the ctrl+t keybinding for it. Because I want to change it.

Seems like I found a solution. As the ctrl+t key is a built in bind for transpose.

{ "keys": ["ctrl+t"], "command": "unbound" }, { "keys": ["ctrl+t+h"], "command": "thesaurus" }

This eliminates the conflict of both ctrl-t keys bound at the same time. As the one that comes with the Thesaurus is hard-coded into the plugin.

So I disabled the key altogether and changed the thesaurus to something more appropriate.

edit and just for fun, even though I will never use it… I added back the transpose:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+t"], "command": "unbound" }, { "keys": ["ctrl+t+h"], "command": "thesaurus" }, { "keys": ["ctrl+t+r"], "command": "transpose" }

This is the important information that was missing from your post. You never mentioned what you wanted to bind it to.

To be fair, the reason for the post at all, was that I did create a new keybinding for the thesaurus. That created the problem. The problem that, here I have created a keybinding for the thesaurus to something else, and yet, the thesaurus still worked when I pressed ctrl+t …?

That was the initial problem.

edit
Problem is in the thesaurus plugin itself. Where it has a hard-coded key binding.

Ah, this is what you mean. Yeah, key bindings are many-to-many, technically. The first many is more complex with multiple bindings for the same key, but the same command can be referenced an indefinite amount of times.

The only way to “remove” a binding is to create a new one that overrides the old (or remove the binding from where it was defined, i.e. within the package).

I agree that is how it should work, but not in this case. As I created a simple user keybinding, for CTRL-T, to be something else… yet, the thesaurus still worked when I pressed CTRL-T… so that is where my confusion began.

This is where I had to come up with disabling the key binding altogether, that was the only way I could stop the thesaurus from functioning when I pressed CTRL-T.

Hope that makes sense.
