why can’t i bing ‘space’ or other special keys? i need it with the command Mode
Binding
You can bind to space like this:
<binding key=" " command="noop"/>
Let me know what other keys are giving you issues.
If you’re binding it just by itself, you’ll want to use:
<binding key="+" command="noop"/>
If you’re binding it with a modifier, you’ll need:
<binding key="alt+keypad_plus" command="noop"/>
Nope, I don’t want alt+keypad_plus I want alt+plus which is in a very different area of the keyboard.
I cannot imagine why alt+plus is not possible in sublime as alt-minus will do it and many other editors have no problems providing alt+plus.
The plus key is left of the return key of a geraman layout keyboard. May this be a reason?
Ha, I remeber times I had to use a french layout where the shift key is needed to type the ‘.’. Do the french write very long sentences because of this or ist it vice versa? Who cares…

It terms of mapping the buttons, Windows doesn’t distinguish between the plus key on a german keyboard, and the equals key on a US keyboard (US layout has no plus key, it’s just a shifted state of the equals key): both trigger a WM_KEYDOWN message with a VK code of 0xBB. The ideal situation would be for Sublime Text to allow it to be bound via ether Alt+Plus or Alt+Equals, but for the moment buttons may only have a single name, so to bind to plus on a keyboard with a german layout, you need:
<binding key="alt+equals" command="noop"/>
This works for me if I set my layout to German.
Hey, it works. Are you scanning the VK codes on other keys, too?
I’m a little confused as ctrl-minus works as expected and the minus key is the neighbor of the right shift key.
