   Possible fix, insert at line 43:

           # other trailing commas
           fixTrailing = re.compile("%s\s+%s" % (
               re.escape(','),
               re.escape("}")
           ), re.MULTILINE)
           data = re.sub(fixTrailing, "}", data)

   @mg979 , I paste it right?

               # Build 3021 & 3033 have trailing commas in the default files
               fixTrailing = re.compile("%s\s+%s" % (
                   re.escape("},"),
                   re.escape("]")
               ), re.MULTILINE)
               data = re.sub(fixTrailing, "}   ]", data)
   
               # other trailing commas
               fixTrailing = re.compile("%s\s+%s" % (
                   re.escape(','),
                   re.escape("}")
               ), re.MULTILINE)
               data = re.sub(fixTrailing, "}", data)
   
               return json.loads(data, strict=False)

   It doesn't work for me, I get the same error.

   Thanks.

   In my installation it works. I also had to do this.
   Maybe you have something else yet that causes an error. What does the console say exactly?

   Claude reports:

   I get the same TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable on Sublime Text build 4215 (Windows 11, BoundKeys from Package Control). Console:

   Error parsing JSON: Illegal trailing comma before end of object: line 59 column 4 (char 2977)
   Error parsing JSON: Illegal trailing comma before end of object: line 6 column 71 (char 173)
   Error parsing JSON: Illegal trailing comma before end of object: line 150 column 10 (char 6962)
   Traceback ...
     File ".../boundkeys.py", line 356, in run
       for binding in userKeys[lastPath]["object"]:
   TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable
   

   Cause: jsonify() returns False when a keymap does not parse (the strict json.loads rejects trailing commas inside objects, which Sublime Text's own parser accepts; the workaround only handles }, followed by ]). The zip branch (lines 301-307) stores that False as "object", and the loops at lines 349-359 then iterate over it.

   Tested fix in a local copy: in jsonify() use return sublime.decode_value(data) (accepts comments and trailing commas like Sublime itself), and in the two loops test if subKeys[lastPath].get("object"): / if userKeys[lastPath].get("object"): instead of if "object" in .... With that the command no longer raises. (The results tab was then empty, a separate problem, filed separately.)
