How to create a keyboard shortcut for SublimeREPL

Question

I am new to Sublime Text 2 on Mac OS. I installed the package SublimeREPL.

Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut to run the file with SublimeREPL?

More precisely, here is a screenshot. I want to avoid going through this menu and run quickly with a keyboard shortcut.

Answer 1

You can set a keyboard shortcut for the command in your screenshot using Sublime key-bindings.

1. Open Sublime.

2. Go to Preferences > Key Bindings - User

3. Add these lines to the opened file between brackets:

   { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+b"], "command": "run_existing_window_command", "args": {     "id": "repl_python_run",     "file": "config/Python/Main.sublime-menu" }} 

4. Save it.

It's done! You can type any key-combinations instead of "ctrl+alt+b", but make sure it's not reserved by Sublime itself (check in Preferences > Key Bindings - Default)

Note: This works for Sublime in Windows. I don't think there would be any difference for Sublime on Mac OS/Linux.

Answer 2

You can set keyboard shortcuts for any menu item that you can select, in any app.

1. Go to System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → App Shortcuts

   

2. Click the + to add a new shortcut.

3. Set the Application to Sublime Text.app, the Menu Title to the exact name of the menu option, and choose a Keyboard Shortcut.

   

4. Click Add.
