Sublime text 3: How to enable ctrl key bindings in Vintage mode?

Question

In Sublime text 3, there is according to the docs a setting to enable use of certain control key shortcuts that are disabled by default in Vintage mode. https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/vintage.html

I have put the line "vintage_ctrl_keys": true in my user preferences file, but the promised bindings

Ctrl+[: Escape
Ctrl+R: Redo
Ctrl+Y: Scroll down one line
Ctrl+E: Scroll up one line
Ctrl+F: Page Down
Ctrl+B: Page Up

don't work. Are there plugins that conflict with Vintage mode?

Answer 1

There are indeed many plugins who use the Ctrl keys for shortcuts. To find them, you would have to look/search through each of your plugins' keybinding files to verify which conflicting bindings are preventing your setting from working.

You can do that with this plugin and remove the key bindings you don't want. However, they'll probably reappear on the modified plugins' next update.

Alternatively, you can try overriding the original command by setting:

{ "keys": ["Ctrl+\["] }

and following that, setting the corresponding key binding from the Vintage package.
