Deactivate menu opening when pressing Alt in sublime


I use alt + ijkl as arrow keys to move my cursor when I am coding. However in Sublime text when you press alt, it opens the upper left menu, and it sometimes messes up my shortcuts. Is there any way to deactivate that ? Haven't found it in "preferences -> keybinds"


Solution

  • This is possible, but not in Sublime Text 3; only Sublime Text 4, which introduces the following setting (shown here with default value):

        // When false, disables alt-tapping revealing the menu when hidden on Linux
        // and Windows. Does not affect auto hiding or toggling the menu through
        // the command palette.
        "reveal_menu": true,
