You should either invoke these actions via Command Palette or create your own keyboard shortcuts (see Default.sublime-commands file for list of available actions).Ī convenient way to add key bindings for Emmet commands is to go to Preferences > Package Settings > Emmet > Key Bindings menu and copy required sample bindings from the left side to the right without comments. are also supported but doesn’t have default key bindings. Expression attributes are supported as well: div[class= More actionsĪll the rest actions like Wrap with Abbreviation, Balance, Select Item etc. To solve this problem, Emmet uses prefixed abbreviations in JSX: it will capture and expand abbreviation only if it’s prefixed with a specific symbol(s). So a default abbreviation capturing for every variable or snippet would annoy you.
Writing Emmet abbreviations in JSX is a bit tricky: in most cases you’d expect Tab key to expand native Sublime Text snippets and use Emmet for specific context only. Make sure your document syntax is set to JSX, not JavaScript If you already have an abbreviation in document and you want to expand it, move caret to the end of abbreviation and invoke autocomplete ( Ctrl+Space by default) to capture abbreviation: Hit Tabkey inside captured abbreviation to expand it, hit Esc to remove mark from abbreviation so you can use Tab for expanding native ST snippets or insert tab character. contains attributes or multiple elements), you’ll see a preview of expanded abbreviation every time caret is inside it. When captured abbreviation becomes complex (e.g. When you start typing in Emmet-supported context (HTML, CSS, Slim etc.) Emmet detects if you’re typing something similar to abbreviation and adds underline which indicates captured abbreviation. In this plugin, abbreviation expander acts as autocomplete provider and automatically captures abbreviation as you type.
No preview of expanded abbreviations: writing complex abbreviations becomes trial and error with expand/undo/expand actions.Tab key hijacking: Emmet binds Tab key for expanding abbreviations so user is unable to insert native Sublime Text snippet or put tab right after word since almost every word can be abbreviation for Emmet.While this approach generally works, it has lots of downsides:
If you used previous version of Emmet plugin, you already know how to expand abbreviations: type something like ul>li.items*4 and hit Tab or Ctrl-E. If you’re unable to find Emmet package on last step or installed package doesn’t work as expected, restart Sublime Text and try again Expanding abbreviation
In opened packages list, find Emmet package and install it.
Available for most popular syntaxes: use single abbreviation to produce code for most popular syntaxes like HAML, Pug, JSX, SCSS, SASS etc.For example, bd1-s#f.5 will be exampled to border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5). CSS properties shortcuts: Emmet provides special syntax for CSS properties with embedded values.
No need to predefine them for each project, just type M圜omponent>custom-element to convert any word into a tag. Dynamic snippets: unlike default editor snippets, Emmet abbreviations are dynamic and parsed as-you-type.Abbreviation syntax is similar to CSS Selectors with shortcuts for id, class, custom attributes, element nesting and so on. Familiar syntax: as a web-developer, you already know how to use Emmet.
