Sublime 3 - Set Key map for function Goto Definition

Question

I want to create an Eclipse style shortcut Ctrl+MouseClick to open the function/method. Sublime Text 3 has already this function called goto_defi

Answer 1

For anyone else who wants to set Eclipse style goto definition, you need to create .sublime-mousemap file in Sublime User folder.

Windows - create Default (Windows).sublime-mousemap in %appdata%\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User

Linux - create Default (Linux).sublime-mousemap in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User

Mac - create Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User

Now open that file and put the following configuration inside

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "count": 1, 
        "modifiers": ["ctrl"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    }
]

You can change modifiers key as you like.

Since Ctrl-button1 on Windows and Linux is used for multiple selections, adding a second modifier key like Alt might be a good idea if you want to use both features:

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "count": 1, 
        "modifiers": ["ctrl", "alt"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    }
]

Alternatively, you could use the right mouse button (button2) with Ctrl alone, and not interfere with any built-in functions.
