Keymaps

A command may have a corresponding keyboard shortcut. You can define key bindings for commands in keymap JSON files like below:
1
{
2
  "ctrl-n": "application:new",
3
  "ctrl-c": "edit.copy",
4
  ...
5
}
Copied!
Key binding should be a combination of following keys with - separator.
Character literals : a, 1, ,, ...
Modifier keys : ctrl, cmd, shift, alt, cmdctrl (cmdctrl is automatically recognized in cmd in MacOS and ctrl in Windows and Linux and alt is corresponds to option key in MacOS)
Special keys : enter, space, up, down, left, right, delete, tab, escape, backspace, home, end, pageup, pagedown
The key bindings is shown in menu items of the same commands automatically.
The keymap JSON files should be placed in keymaps/ folder of the extension and the keymap files are loaded in alphabetical order.
