I am running sublime text 3 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I added the following line to the user key bindings:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+s"], "command": "save_all" }

Following this forum: Sublime Save All

Now, when I start sublime, I get the following error that pops up:

Error trying to parse settings: Unexpected character, expected a comma or closing bracket in Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings:7:2

This error appears whether the additional keybinding is present or removed, or if there's a comma after the final } or not. At this point, figuring out a way to remove the pop up is just as good as making it work. Any ideas on how to help?

EDIT: As requested, my complete user keybindings file:

[
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+s"], "command": "save_all" }
]

  • Please provide your complete keybininds file, especially the line before and after the new one.

  • Ah, the error says error parsing preferences.sublime-settings (line 7). It's not the keybindings file (which even has not seven lines).

The error message gives you a good hint, where to look for the error:

Error trying to parse settings: Unexpected character, expected a comma or closing bracket in Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings:7:2

It gives you the file, where the error occurs (Preferences.sublime-settings) and the line number 7. Very often such an error occurs, if you forget the line separator (comma) in the line before, so in this example in line 6.
