Add mouse click `goto definition` in sublime text 3.

goto-sublime

Linux - create "Default (Linux).sublime-mousemap" in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User
Mac - create "Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap" in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User
Win - create "Default (Windows).sublime-mousemap" in %appdata%\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User

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

cool, thnx

Not working on windows. Sublime shows it's default behavior of putting multiple cursors

Thank you! Working great on Windows 10 😃

Thank you, it works great!

Nice one! Thank you!

nice guys! Its wonderful !

For people to whom it doesn't work read the instructions like I didn't at first.

You can't just go instinctively to Preferences > Keybindings and change it there. It will not work. You have to go where the Default (Linux/Windows/OSX).sublime-keymap file is and manually make a new file with the same name but saying Default (Linux/Windows/OSX).sublime-mousemap This is overcomplicated and I think all bindings should go to Preferences > Keybindings but the long way works for now!!!

Not working with me :(

I did:

cd ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User

vim Default\ (Linux).sublime-keymap

added the code above

[
      { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+a"], "command": "alignment" },
      { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+n"], "command": "advanced_new_file_new"},

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

Any idea why it's not working ?

@alannaidon: you should edit Default\ (Linux).sublime-mousemap instead of Default\ (Linux).sublime-keymap.

Great!

@phackwer the link https://gist.github.com/phackwer/2bd92058a7dc8d68a35f turns out to be a 404 page.

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

if two modifiers, here Ctrl & Alt, are wanted, add them as array, not string ("ctrl+alt")...
IF Ctrl is not used as modifier the drag_select for "press_command" should be removed, too...

Unfortunately, it conflicts with editor features like multiple cursors/selection, effectively disabling them. Is there a way to apply this only when definition is available?

Thank you very much @DVLP

Is there any way to make it universal? typescript one doesn't work with other file types, default one doesn't work in TS

Good one! Thank you!

@phackwer it looks like your link is now broken https://gist.github.com/phackwer/2bd92058a7dc8d68a35f

Hi Guys.
I have sublime Text 3 in 3 computers with Ubuntu. It does not work in any.
I did file: "Default (Linux).sublime-mousemap" in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User with this content

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

This "shortcut combination" worked to me as multiselect cursor before, but now not. This mean shortcut somehow work. But not as I expected. When I hold Ctrl and click Left mouse on any function name or wherever, nothing happen.
I tried many times Copy-Paste it, restart ST3. I have this plugins:

• All Autocomplete.sublime-package
• BracketHighlighter.sublime-package
• Laravel Blade Highlighter.sublime-package
• Package Control.sublime-package
• PHP-Twig.sublime-package
• SublimeLinter-php.sublime-package
• SublimeLinter.sublime-package
• Theme - Kronuz.sublime-package
• Twig.sublime-package

Any idea, why it doesn't work for me?

@greksak you must remove "count": 1, to make it works..

...from the future 2021

... no we still have not ended world hunger

But on ST4 on MacOS, and inside the file Default.sublime-mousemap:

[
    {
        "button": "button1", 
        "modifiers": ["super"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    },
    {
        "button": "button2", 
        "modifiers": ["super"],
        "command": "jump_back"
    }
]

worked for me

For some reason, it works only on already opened tabs. If the tab is closed it does nothing. It worked before but at some point stopped. Any suggestions?

If you want VS Code style, like ctrl + button1 for definition and alt + button1 for selecting multiple lines, then paste this content instead:

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

macOS Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap in "~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/":

[
    // ⌘+LeftClick => goto definition
    {
        "button": "button1",
        "count": 1,
        "modifiers": ["super"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "command": "goto_definition"
    },
    // ⌘+RightClick => jump back
    {
        "button": "button2",
        "modifiers": ["super"],
        "command": "jump_back"
    },
    // ⌥+LeftClick => set multiple cursors
    {
        "button": "button1",
        "count": 1,
        "modifiers": ["alt"],
        "press_command": "drag_select",
        "press_args": {"additive": true}
    }
]
