Sublime 3 - Set Key map for function Goto Definition

For anyone else who wants to set Eclipse style goto definition, you need to create .sublime-mousemap file in Sublime User folder.

Windows - create Default (Windows).sublime-mousemap in %appdata%\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User

Linux - create Default (Linux).sublime-mousemap in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User

Mac - create Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User

Now open that file and put the following configuration inside

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "count": 1, 
        "modifiers": ["ctrl"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    }
]

You can change modifiers key as you like.


Since Ctrl-button1 on Windows and Linux is used for multiple selections, adding a second modifier key like Alt might be a good idea if you want to use both features:

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "count": 1, 
        "modifiers": ["ctrl", "alt"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    }
]

Alternatively, you could use the right mouse button (button2) with Ctrl alone, and not interfere with any built-in functions.


To set go to definition to alt + d. From the Menu Preferences > Key Bindings-User. And then add the following JSON.

[
    { "keys": ["alt+d"], "command": "goto_definition" }
]

If you want to see how to do a proper definition go into Sublime Text->Preferences->Key Bindings - Default and search for the command you want to override.

{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "goto_definition" },
{ "keys": ["super+alt+down"], "command": "goto_definition" }

Those are two that show in my Default.

On Mac I copied the second to override.

in Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Key Bindings - User I added this

/* Beginning of File */

[
    {
        "keys": ["super+shift+i"], "command": "goto_definition" 
    }
]

/* End of File */

This binds it to the Command + Shift + 1 combination on mac.


On a mac you have to set keybinding yourself. Simply go to

Sublime --> Preference --> Key Binding - User  

and input the following:

{ "keys": ["shift+command+m"], "command": "goto_definition" }

This will enable keybinding of Shift + Command + M to enable goto definition. You can set the keybinding to anything you would like of course.
