I want to create an Eclipse style shortcut Ctrl+MouseClick to open the function/method. Sublime Text 3 has already this function called goto_definition
but it is bound to F12.
But I'm not sure how to create this binding. I looked here for documentation but it was too complex. Can you one help me out with this simple key binding?
Edit: Following this article I was told to do this: http://webtempest.com/better-definition-navigation-in-sublime-text-3/
[
{
"button": "button1",
"count": 1,
"modifiers": ["super", "shift"],
"press_command": "drag_select",
"command": "goto_definition"
}
]
This doesn't seem to work, ctrl+shift+click executes nothing.
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.
