Chain of Command
Sublime text plugin to run a chain of commands
Usage
To run a chain of commands you run the chain
window commands and pass it a list of commands to run. Each command is defined as a list where the first argument is the name of the command to run and any additional arguments will be
passed directly to the command.
For example, to run the select_all command and then run the copy command you would call:
window.run_command("chain",{"commands":[["select_all"],["copy"]]})
Or if you wanted to focus the first group in a window:
window.run_command("chain",{"commands":[["focus_group",{"group":0}]]})
The point is to be able to build custom key bindings to run a sequence of commands. Lets say you wanted a key binding to duplicate the current file. You could set this key binding:
{
"keys": ["super+shift+option+d"],
"command": "chain",
"args": {
"commands": [
["select_all"],
["copy"],
["new_file"],
["paste"],
["save"]
]
}
}
This would select all the text, copy it, create a new file, paste the text, then open the save file dialog.
