Enable spectacle keybindings with sublime text 2 on OSX Mavericks

Question

I'm using spectacle on Mavericks (OSX 10.9). The default keybinding is super + alt + left pushes your current window to the left side of the screen and super + alt + right pushes your current window to the right side of the screen. This works great with most of my applications, except from sublime text 2. I tried to change the default sublime text keybindings by removing the following lines:

{ "keys": ["super+alt+left"], "command": "prev_view" },
{ "keys": ["super+alt+right"], "command": "next_view" },

but I'm still unable to use spectacle appropriately to move my sublime editor around my screen.

Any tips? Thanks

Same problem. According to the official website, the default key binding could be modified by overwrite default ones in your own (User) config file via "Preference -> Key Biding" menu, and I tried nullify the view switching behavior with

[
    { "keys": ["super+alt+left"],"command":"noop"},
    { "keys": ["super+alt+right"],"command": "noop"}
]

This doesn't work because it basically ignored the key-combo press, rather than passing over the registered key press to other Applications (Spectacle in this case).

One potential solution is to change the Spectacle key binding, but I don't want to.
