I'm having no luck changing the key bindings for switching files in Sublime. Does anybody know that the deal is here? All i'm trying to achieve is cmd+] and cmd+[ to show next and previous files. Then i can use tab and shift+tab for all my indenting.

[
   { "keys": ["super+]"], "command": "Next File" },
   { "keys": ["super+["], "command": "Previous File" }
]

Thanks everyone!

This is actually what you might have been really looking for. I find it more useful to go back to the previous file I was working on, not moving left and right through the tabs. But you can have bindings to both behaviors.

// This is very useful, go back to the previously viewed file regardless of
// tab order
  { "keys": ["super+["], "command": "next_view_in_stack" },
  { "keys": ["super+]"], "command": "prev_view_in_stack" }
