How to create keyboard shortcut for displaying ruler in Sublime Text 2?

Question
What I want is to toggle Sublime Text 2 rulers visibility with a keyboard shortcut.
The only information I have got on topic is that rulers can be controlled by following JSON code in Preferences:
{
"rulers": [80, 120],
}
Is it possible to create such a keyboard shortcut?
Thanks in advance!
Solution
You can add this in your user key bindings settings (menu Sublime Text 2/Preferences/Key Bindings - User
):
{
"keys": ["YOUR_ENABLE_RULERS_SHORTCUT"],
"command": "set_setting",
"args":
{
"setting": "rulers",
"value": [80, 120]
}
}
To disable rulers:
{
"keys": ["YOUR_DISABLE_RULERS_SHORTCUT"],
"command": "set_setting",
"args":
{
"setting": "rulers",
"value": []
}
}
If you really want a toggle, you can create a new plugin (Tools/New Plugin...
), with a code similar to this:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class ToggleRulersCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit, **kwargs):
rulers = kwargs["values"] if self.view.settings().get("rulers") == [] else []
self.view.settings().set("rulers", rulers)
Save the plug-in in your Packages/User
directory, with name ToggleRulers.py
.
Then, add this key binding:
{
"keys": ["YOUR_TOGGLE_RULERS_SHORTCUT"], "command": "toggle_rulers",
"args": { "values": [80, 120] }
}
