What is a .SUBLIME-KEYMAP file?
A .SUBLIME-KEYMAP file is a type of file specifically used by Sublime Text, which is a popular text editor often used for editing source code. This file contains settings that define key bindings, which are shortcuts that perform specific actions within the application. The key bindings are written in JSON format, a simple data format that uses text to represent structured data.
The content of a .SUBLIME-KEYMAP file includes pairs of keys and commands. For example, in a keymap file used on a Windows system, you might see a line like `{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+t"], "command": "reopen_last_file" }`. This means that pressing the Ctrl, Shift, and T keys together will trigger the action to reopen the last file you closed. On a Mac (OS X), the command might use "super" instead of "ctrl", reflecting the different key used on Mac keyboards.
Sublime Text automatically includes a default keymap file, which can be found in the `/Packages/Default` directory within the Sublime Text installation folder. Users can also create or modify their own custom keymap files, which are stored in the `/Packages/User` directory. This allows users to customize their keyboard shortcuts according to their preferences and workflow needs.
To view or edit these keymap files, you can go to the application menu in Sublime Text, and select `Preferences` followed by `Key Bindings - Default` for the default settings, or `Key Bindings - User` for your custom settings.
The only program that can natively open and use .SUBLIME-KEYMAP files is Sublime Text itself. Since the file contains JSON code, it's also possible to view the contents using any text editor, but to actually use the key bindings, you need to do so within Sublime Text.
