Retrieve Key Bindings

[svenax]

However, the Python json parser does not allow for comments, which are used in most default files. To handle that, you need a custom decoder object.

I use this code:

Code: Select all

RE_COMMENTS = re.compile('((//.*?$)|(/\*.*\*/))', re.M | re.S)
with open(keybindingfile) as f:
   content = f.read()
keybindings = json.loads(RE_COMMENTS.sub('', content))

Ah yes, that should work. As long as you dont have text that looks like comments inside strings in the json file that is ...

You're right, it's not fool proof.

This is probably a better solution (didn't try it):
