multiple "commands" in a single Sublime Text 2 user keymap shortcut

Question

Is there a way to have multiple "commands" associated with one shortcut?

I have these two shortcuts. First shortcut makes the window on the left larger than the right one (in a 2 column view) and the next shortcut puts the focus on the first window. I tend to forget one or the other shortcut when coding quickly.

{     "keys": ["super+alt+left"],     "command": "set_layout",     "args":     {         "cols": [0.0, 0.66, 1.0],         "rows": [0.0, 1.0],         "cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 2, 1]]     } }, { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+left"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 0 } } 

This question makes me sound like i'm lazy but i'd like to think of it as being efficient.

Any advice or suggestions, please?

As of Sublime Text 4 (build 4104, 3 May 2021) you can use the built in chain command.

In older versions (ST2 or ST3) you needed to install the Chain of Command plugin (GitHub).

Both have the same syntax, allowing you write keybindings etc that perform multiple actions, e.g.:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+d"],   "context": [     { "key": "panel_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }   ],   "command": "chain",   "args": {     "commands": [       ["hide_panel", {"cancel": true}],       ["find_under_expand"]     ]   } }, 

which redefines Ctrl+D so that it'll close the Find panel if it's open, then perform its normal action (Quick Add Next).

You can do any number of subcommands. Each is an array with the command name (e.g. "hide_panel") followed optionally by the arguments (e.g. {"cancel": true}). The unofficial/incomplete documentation of available commands and their arguments may be helpful.
