Atom Interfering Keymap Config?

Question

I have this in Atom my kepmap file:

'.editor':
   'ctrl-i': 'window:toggle-invisibles'

'.editor':
   'ctrl-t': 'editor:toggle-indent-guide'

ctrl-t works but ctrl-i doesn't.

Just deleting the

'.editor':
   'ctrl-t': 'editor:toggle-indent-guide'

makes ctrl-i work again.

Why would that be? How to I clear the interference?

Answer 1

You'll notice both bindings share the same class even if they don't share the same keystroke, try putting them together like so:

'.editor':
   'ctrl-i': 'window:toggle-invisibles'
   'ctrl-t': 'editor:toggle-indent-guide'

And you could even be more specific to avoid having them overwritten whenever you install new packages, like so:

'.workspace .editor:not(.mini)':
   'ctrl-i': 'window:toggle-invisibles'
   'ctrl-t': 'editor:toggle-indent-guide'

That's just an example, you can be even more specific adding .pane, but the previous one does the job.

You can also use the Key Binding Resolver by ctrl+._{(that's the "dot" or "period")}, or querying the command palette by ctrl+shift+P and searching for resolver, bam you are there (that one you knew for sure, I just mention it for other people who may be reading this and may not be familiar with basic functionality).

The key binding resolver will help you monitor how other bindings may be interfering.

Let me know if it worked.
