How to create a key binding to call a snippet by name?

[handycam]

Assuming I have a snippet called "My Snippet.sublime-snippet", what's the syntax in the keymap file to call this snippet?

[C0D312]

There should be examples of these in the default keymap. Check there.

Code: Select all

{ "keys": ["alt+shift+w"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": { "name": "Packages/User/My Snippet.sublime-snippet" } }

I prefer to remove the space (personally).

OK, it doesn't work for me, I'm sure it's something stupid.

Key command:

Code: Select all

{ "keys": ["shift-ctrl-b"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": { "name": "Packages/User/Strong.sublime-snippet" } }

Snippet:

Code: Select all

<snippet>
   <content><![CDATA[
<strong>$SELECTION</strong>
]]></content>
   <!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
   <!-- <tabTrigger>hello</tabTrigger> -->
   <!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
   <!-- <scope>source.python</scope> -->
</snippet>

ctrl+shift+b

As mentioned by COD312, you should examine the default key-bindings to guide you.

Damn. What a jerk I am. Thanks.
