Add global keyboard shortcut

[drublic]

It would be awesome if something like ctrl+shift+j could be a global shortcut to run the command.
I couldn't figure out how to set the shortcut in the user key-bindings and I think it would improve the workflow immensely.

Please, do not add any shortcut. I understand you are a novice ST2 user, but you'll realize in a short time that the mess it makes to have each Package adding its own random shortcut can be a real headache. Use the package for a while until you see it suits you, and then Goto Preferences->Key Bindings - User and add a keyboard shortcut according to your needs and uses.

Thanks for your thoughts. Can you help me figure out how to add a user key-binding for jsrun, @juanfal?

[juanfal]

Goto Preferences->Key Bindings - User

And in the empty (I suppose you do not have any previous key binding…)

[
    { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+j"], , "command": "js_run" }
]

you can see examples in

Preferences->Key Bindings - Default

Awesome. Thank you.
Anyway… Packages come with good defaults sometimes. And I think that is ok, as long as you can overwrite them through the Key Bindings - User.

The problem with that approach, sometimes, is they hide other keyboard commands and that can even be dangerous or unreliable at the best.

TextMate used to have a very clever way to handle it: it allows to have more than one action over one shortcut and when you act doing the shortcut it offers you a small pop-up menu with the meaning of each one to select.

I have to agree with @juanfal. Maybe if Sublime had some kind of shortcut conflict system, but atm it only causes confusion.

I'd rather just improve the instruction on how to add the shortcut.

Ok. A comment about how to set a shortcut would be awesome :)
Thanks!
