What Super + single character combos are available for keybindings?

#1

I know Super + K has long been reserved for sequence bindings and that Super + J was later freed up to serve as sequence binder. Is there a list somewhere of other Super + characters that are not yet bound to anything standard in Sublime that could save me the time of manually going through all menus and taking note of what isn’t already reserved?

All the keybindings are in the default keymap, which gets automatically opened on the left when you edit your custom keybindings using the menu Preferences > Key Bindings.

Following up after review of the the menu Preferences > Key Bindings, it seems J is the only alphabetical letter not bound to a Super + Single Character command, at least on a Mac. It seems ; and ' and . and / and \ are also available for single character Super binding.

Hi.

Maybe I’m making a mistake here, perhaps you’re using a mac ?
I’m not, so for me it’s ctrl+k (command on mac ?) the super key (which on my keyboard is the one with the windows icon on it) is unbound to any function. You can use it like the ctrl key in conjunction with shift, vastly increasing the number of keybindings available. I’ll see if I can find a picture of my keyboard somewhere…

That key surrounded by the red, ST3 refers to it as the super key using linux, discovering I could use that key really made my life easier.
Apparently ST(4) doesn’t have keybinding clashes with single and double keypresses, but I wouldn’t know (if that is indeed your issue)…

Yes, OP is using a Mac; on that system, super (aka command) is used in place of ctrl on other platforms, such as super+c to copy and super+v to paste.

There aren’t default bindings for those on Windows because as you’ve noted, on Windows the super key is the Windows key, and Windows reserves many of those bindings for itself. There are a couple that will work, some that do windows tasks, and others that Windows masks applications from seeing, presumably for future use or such.
