Keyboard shortcut to change color scheme in Sublime Text 2?

is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to a specific color scheme in Sublime Text 2? In Emacs it's easy to define a function that toggles "night-mode" color scheme and assigns it to a keyboard shortcut, I was wondering if you can also do it in ST2.

There is a way to change a color scheme along with a theme with Camaleon plugin.

If someone interested I just created a plugin to toggle between N different theme and colorscheme configurations. Check it out here:

To change global color scheme settings (not just the current view), alter Riccardo's answer like this:

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class ToggleColorSchemeCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit, **args):
        s = sublime.load_settings("Preferences.sublime-settings")

        scheme1 = args["color_scheme_1"]
        scheme2 = args["color_scheme_2"]
        current_scheme = s.get("color_scheme", scheme1)

        new_scheme = scheme1
        if current_scheme == scheme1:
          new_scheme = scheme2

        if current_scheme == scheme2:
         new_scheme = scheme1

        s.set("color_scheme", new_scheme)

        sublime.save_settings("Preferences.sublime-settings")

Make sure all of your views are set to one color scheme before using this!

This should work no matter what your color schemes are currently set to under "Preferences.sublime-settings - User" and "Preferences.sublime-settings - Default".

I gleaned this information from Schemrs code: https://github.com/benweier/Schemr/blob/master/schemr.py and the font-changing code: "Packages\Default\font.py"

If you don't want to bother with editing config files you can install SchemeCycle.

Then cycle color schemes with F8 and Shift+F8. With 2 themes (Dark / Light) it acts as toggling.

If you prefer Command Palette check Norris's answer or try ColorSchemeSelector with : Select Color Scheme command, it will not pollute your pallete as much as Schemr.

To support multiple color schemes one would alter Riccardos answer like so:

class ToggleColorSchemeCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit, **args):

        scheme1 = args["color_scheme_1"]
        scheme2 = args["color_scheme_2"]
        scheme3 = args["color_scheme_3"]
        current_scheme = self.view.settings().get("color_scheme")

        new_scheme = scheme1
        if current_scheme == scheme1:
          new_scheme = scheme2

        if current_scheme == scheme2:
         new_scheme = scheme3

        self.view.settings().set("color_scheme", new_scheme)

I just found this nice little plugin: https://github.com/skt84/Schemr

Which doesn't exactly allow you to bind, but gives you a Command Palette access instead, which does just perfect for me. (Just in case anyone stumbled on this via google like myself.)

Try something like this, in your user key binding:

{
    "keys": ["YOUR_SHORTCUT"],
    "command": "set_setting",
    "args":
    {
        "setting": "color_scheme",
        "value": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme"
    }
}

Of course, change Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme to whatever theme you prefer.

If you want a toggle between two color schemes, you can create a plugin (Tools/New Plugin...):

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class ToggleColorSchemeCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit, **args):

        scheme1 = args["color_scheme_1"]
        scheme2 = args["color_scheme_2"]
        current_scheme = self.view.settings().get("color_scheme")

        new_scheme = scheme1 if current_scheme == scheme2 else scheme2
        self.view.settings().set("color_scheme", new_scheme)

and save it in your Packages/User directory.

Then add a key binding like this:

{  
    "keys": ["YOUR_TOGGLE_SHORCUT"], "command": "toggle_color_scheme",
    "args":
    {
        "color_scheme_1": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme" ,
        "color_scheme_2": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Dark).tmTheme"
    }
}
