How to insert a binding repr in the Quick Panel

Copy from the Default.sublime-keymap.template the last line that contains a multitude of bindings with `insert_binding_repr` and place it in your User keymap.

So how would you insert alt+q? You can think of it like this:

• PRESS `alt` and hold it down
• PRESS `=` while thinking PLUS then lift all fingers
• PRESS `q`

Note that on a standard US keyboard `=` is on the same key as `+` (plus) You can't bind to just a modifier like alt, so plus seems a resaonable key/mnemonic.

In sublime `{"keys": [...]}` terms previous exmaple would be:

• PRESS `["alt+="]`
• PRESS `["q"]`

The following bindings show how it works. Note the `expecting_binding_repr_mode` key.

    {"args": {"val": "alt"},
     "command": "insert_binding_repr",
     "context": [{"key": "overlay_visible", "operand": true, "operator": "equal"},
                 {"key": "setting.expecting_binding_repr_mode",
                  "operand": false,
                  "operator": "equal"}],
     "keys": ["alt+="]}

     {"args": {"val": "q"},
      "command": "insert_binding_repr",
      "context": [{"key": "overlay_visible", "operand": true, "operator": "equal"},
                  {"key": "setting.expecting_binding_repr_mode",
                   "operand": true,
                   "operator": "equal"}],
      "keys": ["q"]}

So how would you insert ctrl+alt+q? (In sublime terms)

• PRESS `ctrl+alt+=`
• PRESS `q`

Help? You can't insert_binding_repr for down|enter|up ?

Unfortunately, some bindings don't work as the second key due to the quickpanel swallowing them:

• <enter>
• <up>
• <down>
• and others ...

The workaround is to type the first letter of the key you desire, eg:

• type `e` for <enter> to insert `alt+e` then type `nter`
• type `u` for <up> to insert `alt+u` then type `p`
• type `d` for <down> to insert `alt+d` then type `own`
