Refresh Folder Hotkey - Sublime Text 2

EditorsGuides

Hey everyone,

Just a quick post on how to setup a refresh hotkey in Sublime on Windows. All you have to do is the following:

1) Open sublime
2) Select Preferences from the top menu and then click “Key Bindings – Default”
3) Go to the end of the file and add a comma to the last entry:

        //Original
	{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "hide_panel", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["shift+enter"], "command": "find_prev", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["alt+enter"], "command": "find_all", "args": {"close_panel": true},
		"context": [{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	}

        //Modified
        //Original
	{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "hide_panel", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["shift+enter"], "command": "find_prev", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["alt+enter"], "command": "find_all", "args": {"close_panel": true},
		"context": [{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	}

4) Add the following entry:

//Custom
{ "keys": ["f5"], "command": "refresh_folder_list" }

Now all you have to do is save the file and F5 will now refresh your project! If you want to change the hotkey, simply switch [“f5”] for another value.

  1. Better to use the Key Bindings of "User" rather than "Default", which would otherwise be overwritten upon updating ;)
