Package Path on OSX

[nfarrar]

So I've been trying to get more than just the basic snippets working. I can't get any of the advanced features to run. Out of the box, none of the keymaps work. I messed around with it a bit and I think I know why it's not working on OSX (I assume this doesn't work for anyone).

• I copied the packages Default (OSX).sublime-keymap to Packages/User/Default (OSX).sublime-keymap. Once I did that, some of the very basic features work.
• I opened up the console, and tried some of the table keybindings - and the log starts filling up with:

Unable to open /Users/nfarrar/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/sublime-rst-completion/sublime-rst-completion.sublime-settings
Unable to open /Users/nfarrar/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/sublime-rst-completion/Default (OSX).sublime-keymap

So - I went and checked - and sure enough, the files are not there. In fact, there is no 'sublime-rst-completion' directory at all. I think this issue may have to do with either of the following two things (I've never built a sublime text plugin, so i'm stabbing in the dark here):

1. The way you're referencing the package path doesn't look the way it's commonly done. I looked up the API - and checked a couple other plugins ... and they were using specific API calls to get the paths - I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that maybe these are hooked by package control to provide the correct paths (guessing).
2. Package control installs packages as "packed" .sublime-package files by default (https://packagecontrol.io/docs/customizing_packages) - unless you put a .no-sublime-package in the root of the repository.

So - git cloned the plugin into my packages directory, restarted sublime - and now some of the keymaps are working, however I think there are some other issues, specifically to do with the keymaps that are set for OSX:

If you’re developing a package, keep this in mind:

Ctrl+Alt+ should never be used in any Windows key bindings.
Option+ should never be used in any OS X key bindings.
In both cases, the user’s ability to insert non-ASCII characters would be compromised otherwise.

Key bindings in a keymap file are evaluated from the bottom to the top. The first matching context wins.

Similar situation here (on Linux)

sublime-rst-completion is being installed into the Installed Packages directory though Package Control seems to only be looking in Packages for it? Also, it only affects viewing the settings and key-bindings from the Package Control options as the functionality of the package is still there.
