Sublime Text 2 keyboard shortcut to open file in specified browser (e.g. Chrome)

Windows7 FireFox/Chrome:

    {
       "cmd":["F:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe","$file"]
    }

just use your own path of firefox.exe or chrome.exe to replace mine.

Replace firefox.exe or chrome.exe with your own path.

"Open in Browser context menu for HTML files" has been added in the latest build (2207). Its release date was 25 June 2012.

I'm not really sure this question is approprate here, but you can add a new "Build System" under Tools -> Build System -> New Build System...

As with all configuration in Sublime Text its just JSON, so it should be pretty straight forward. The main thing you are going to want to configure is the "cmd" key/val. Here is the build config for launching chrome on my mac.

{
    "cmd": ["open", "-a", "Google Chrome", "$file"]
}

Save that as Chrome.sublime-build, relaunch Sublime Text and you should see a new Chrome option in the build list. Select it, and then you should be able to launch Chrome with Cmd+B on a Mac (or whatever hotkey you have configured for build, maybe its F7 or Ctrl+B on a Windows machine)

At least this should give you a push in the right direction.

Edit:

Another thing I end up doing a lot in Sublime Text 2 is if you right click inside a document, one of the items in the context menu is Copy File Path, which puts the current file's full path into the clipboard for easy pasting into whatever browser you want.

Sublime Text 3 (linux example) "shell_cmd": "google-chrome '$file'"

This worked on Sublime 3:

To browse html files with default app by Alt+L hotkey:

Add this line to Preferences -> Key Bindings - User opening file:

{ "keys": ["alt+l"], "command": "open_in_browser"}

To browse or open with external app like chrome:

Add this line to Tools -> Build System -> New Build System... opening file, and save with name "OpenWithChrome.sublime-build"

"shell_cmd": "C:\\PROGRA~1\\Google\\Chrome\\APPLIC~1\\chrome.exe $file"

Then you can browse/open the file by selecting Tools -> Build System -> OpenWithChrome and pressing F7 or Ctrl+B key.
