It'd be nice if we were able to perform a custom-bound shortcut

Say I'd like to trigger a command, which is bound to ["ctrl+g", "s"] in sublime keymaps. To remap that via .vintageousrc one'd write:

map <Leader>gs <C-g>s

I can do something similar using the leader key (space in my case) in the actual sublime keymaps, but that breaks vintageous a bit (for instance movement towards space (f" ") doesn't work, etc.).

@mreq This has been resolved in the latest 1.4.0 release (NeoVintageous is a fork of the discontinued Vintageous plugin):

You can now map to Sublime Text commands from your vintageousrc file.

Mapping to Command-line mode commands is supported for basic use-cases: >
:command

Mapping to Sublime Text commands is supported for basic use-cases. The command
must start an Uppercase letter to avoid confusion with built-in Command-line
mode commands. The command is converted to snake_case. For example to map to
the Sublime Text command "toggle_side_bar": >
:ToggleSideBar

Here is an example |vintageousrc| file: >

" The character " (the double quote mark) starts a comment

let mapleader=,

" Toggle the side bar.
nnoremap <leader>d :ToggleSideBar<CR>

See the :help neovintageous command for information.

Cheers! Looking great.

Here we are calling the command directly which is very nice. Is it also possible to just map to an existing Sublime Key Binding like say:

noremap \u ctrl+enter

where ctrl+enter is just the stock definition from Sublime Keymaps:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+enter"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": xs"} }

I did create a custom command in plugin.py and it works fine. But I am repeating the whole thing there. It would be really nice if I can execute a Ctrl+Enter through code like say using a dummy function which can invoke the necessary Sublime Key. Any thoughts?

@varmanishant No that isn't possible. Hopefully we can add argument support for custom commands which would make things a lot easier; you would be able to do something like: noremap \u :RunMacroFile file=xs, which obviously removes the need for the custom plugin code.

Thanks @gerardroche. I just did it using the normal plugin way for now.
