 1 | # Chain of Command

 7 | ### Usage
 8 | 
 9 | To run a chain of commands you run the `chain` window commands and pass it a list of commands to run. Each command is defined as a list where the first argument is the name of the command to run and any additional arguments will be 
10 | passed directly to the command.
11 | 
12 | For example, to run the __select_all__ command and then run the __copy__ command you would call:
13 | 
14 | ```python
15 | window.run_command("chain",{"commands":[["select_all"],["copy"]]})
16 | ```
17 | 
18 | Or if you wanted to focus the first group in a window:
19 | 
20 | ```python
21 |  window.run_command("chain",{"commands":[["focus_group",{"group":0}]]})
22 | ```
23 | 
24 | The point is to be able to build custom key bindings to run a sequence of commands. Lets say you wanted a key binding to duplicate the current file. You could set this key binding:
25 | 
26 | ```json
27 | {
28 |   "keys": ["super+shift+option+d"], 
29 |   "command": "chain", 
30 |   "args": {
31 |     "commands": [
32 |       ["select_all"],
33 |       ["copy"],
34 |       ["new_file"],
35 |       ["paste"],
36 |       ["save"]
37 |     ]
38 |   }
39 | }
40 | ```
41 | 
42 | This would select all the text, copy it, create a new file, paste the text, then open the save file dialog.
