Edit the key map for goto definition

Question

According to this question, I added this :

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "count": 1, 
        "modifiers": ["ctrl"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    }
]

To a file which a named Default (Windows).sublime-mousemap in %appdata%\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User .And it works just fine. The only issue here is that the mutiselection feature of sublime text not to work, so I thought I could edit this in such to maintain the multiselection (ctrl + alt + click) or (ctrl + shift + click) :

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "count": 1, 
        "modifiers": ["ctrl + alt"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    }
]

But it doesn't seem to work. Any help with this would be great. Thanks.

Try setting it to the following:

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "count": 1, 
        "modifiers": ["ctrl", "alt"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    }
]

The "modifiers" array needs to have the individual keys as individual values, separated by commas - ["ctrl", "alt"], instead of having them both together concatenated with a plus +. This is one of the differences between keymaps and mousemaps.

FYI, I edited the answer in your linked question to clarify this. — MattDMo, Jun 26 '14 at 18:36
