Set Key Bindings using the command palette

[julianmenzler]

Problem description

Creating custom key bindings is too complicated.

I struggle to create an entry for Toggle Side Bar, for example:

1. Navigate to ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Sublime Merge/Packages/User
2. Open Default (OSX).sublime-keymap
3. Enter JSON entry. However, how should it look like? What is the command string for this action etc.

Preferred solution

I'd like to see some assistance in the UI. Similar to JetBrains IDEs.

1. Open the command palette

2. Select a command

   

3. Press alt-enter

   

4. Choose a shortcut & click OK

Alternatives

• Add, e.g., Edit key bindings to the command palette to open Default (OSX).sublime-keymap in the default text editor, for example.
• Improve the online Key Bindings Documentation, so that it guides you through the whole process of setting a custom key binding. It should reference a list with all command strings.

Add, e.g., Edit key bindings to the command palette to open Default (OSX).sublime-keymap in the default text editor, for example.

It's already their in the menu Preferences -> Edit Key Bindings ... so it should be quite easy to add the same thing to the command palette as well.
