A simple way to toggle between dark and light themes in Sublime Text 2.

Default (OSX).sublime-keymap

// Copy this to your keybindings (Preferences > Key Bindings - User)
// Change the keybinding, color schemes, and themes to your preferences

{ "keys": ["ctrl+1"], "command": "toggle_color_scheme",
  "args": {
    "light_color_scheme": "Packages/User/Espresso Soda.tmTheme",
    "dark_color_scheme": "Packages/User/Monokai Soda.tmTheme",
    "light_theme": "Soda Light.sublime-theme",
    "dark_theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme"
  }
}

ToggleColorSchemeCommand.py

# Copy this file to ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class ToggleColorSchemeCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):

    def run(self, edit, **args):
        light_scheme = args["light_color_scheme"]
        dark_scheme  = args["dark_color_scheme"]

        light_theme  = args["light_theme"]
        dark_theme   = args["dark_theme"]

        settings = sublime.load_settings('Preferences.sublime-settings')
        current_scheme = settings.get('color_scheme')

        if current_scheme == light_scheme:
            settings.set('color_scheme', dark_scheme)
            settings.set('theme', dark_theme)
        else:
            settings.set('color_scheme', light_scheme)
            settings.set('theme', light_theme)

        sublime.save_settings('Preferences.sublime-settings')

Thanks!

A very handy small plugin indeed. Thanks!

FYI when using it in a SublimeText 2 project, only the files open after opening the project will be updated with the corresponding color_scheme. I.e. this plugin doesn't update the color_scheme for the files that were already open the last time the project was closed. That's because color_schemes are saved per view in the .sublime-workspace file when closing the project and this buffer specific settings have the highest weight in the settings hierarchy. See my fork for a quickfix.

Cheers.
