User key bindings in Sublime Text 3 doesn't work












0















I'd like to customize some of the Sublime Text 3 keybindings to mimic IntelliJ IDEA. One of them is opening a file from the current project, also known as Goto Anything in Sublime jargaon. I followed the instructions in this answer to find out that the default key binding for "Goto Anything" is ⌘ + p on a Mac, like so:



{ "keys": ["super+p"], "command": "show_overlay", "args": {"overlay": "goto", "show_files": true} } 


I added a new keybinding as follows:



[
{ "keys": ["shift+shift"], "command": "show_overlay", "args": {"overlay": "goto", "show_files": true} }
]


It, however, doesn't work; pressing shift twice in rapid succession does precisely nothing. When I open the console, I see the following message:




Unable to open /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text
3/Packages/Default/Default (OSX).sublime-keymap




According to this ticket, this message is harmless but misleading, and is just an indication that Sublime is opening a file.



What's wrong then?
