Description

Context: I'm a longtime Mac user, and among other things this means I have deeply ingrained key-stroke habits from the things supported by CoreText. This includes being able to transpose characters with Ctrlt.

For obvious reasons, this plugin doesn't play particularly well with that. I'd be perfectly content with just being able to manually remap all the keybindings to handle it.

Aside: I actually used the transpose action in this very writeup, so I duplicated it as a GIF.

Research direction

Start by locating where the TypeScript Sublime plugin defines or intercepts keybindings, then examine how Ctrl-T conflicts with the requested transpose action. Done means users can manually remap the plugin's keybindings so the transpose keystroke remains usable.
