Question

I’d like to switch to XML syntax in Sublime Text 2 using some key binding, for example Ctrl+Shift+X.
There is a command for that, I can successfully execute it from console:

view.set_syntax_file("Packages/XML/XML.tmLanguage")

I tried this binding, but it doesn’t work:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+x"], "command": "set_syntax_file", "args" : {"syntax_file" : "Packages/XML/XML.tmLanguage" }}

Here API reference for the set_syntax_file command can be found.
Any ideas?

Try this:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+x"], "command": "set_file_type", "args" : {"syntax" : "Packages/XML/XML.tmLanguage" } }
