Official Emmet plugin for Sublime Text.
Warning: this plugin may not work at all in some OSes since it written in JavaScript and uses PyV8 and Google V8 binaries to run. If you experience problems or editor crashes please fill an issue.
With Package Control:
Emmet
plugin.Manually:
WARNING: When plugin is installed, it will automatically download required PyV8 binary so you have to wait a bit (see Loading PyV8 binary message on status bar). If you experience issues with automatic PyV8 loader, try to install it manually.
Increment/Decrement Number actions:
You can easily extend Emmet with new actions and filters or customize existing ones. In Emmet.sublime-settings
, define extensions_path
setting and Emmet will load all .js
and .json
files in specified folder at startup.
The default value of extensions_path
is ~/emmet
, which points to emmet folder inside your OS user’s home folder.
Also, you can create sections named as extension files (e.g. snippets
, preferences
and syntaxProfiles
) inside user’s Emmet.sublime-settings
file and write your customizations there. See original settings file for examples.
Sublime Text is a great text editor with lots of features and actions. Most of these actions are bound to keyboard shortcuts so it’s nearly impossible to provide convenient plugin shortcuts for third-party plugins.
If you’re unhappy with default keymap, you can disable individual keyboard shortcuts with disabled_keymap_actions
preference of Emmet.sublime-settings
file.
Use a comma-separated list of action names which default keyboard shortcuts should be disabled. For example, if you want to release Ctrl+E (“Expand Abbreviation”) and Ctrl+U (“Update Image Size”) shortcuts, your must set the following value:
"disabled_keymap_actions": "expand_abbreviation, update_image_size"
You should refer Default (Your-OS-Name).sublime-keymap
file to get action ids (look for args/action
key).
To disable all default shortcuts, set value to all
:
"disabled_keymap_actions": "all"
Not that if you disabled any action like so and you’re create your own keyboard shortcut, you should not use emmet_action_enabled.ACTION_NAME
context since this is the key that disables action.
Emmet expands abbreviations in limited syntaxes only: HTML, CSS, LESS, SCSS, Stylus and PostCSS. The reason to restrict Tab handler to a limited syntax list is because it breaks native Sublime Text snippets.
If you want to abbreviation with Tab in other syntaxes (for example, JSX, HAML etc.) you have to tweak your keyboard shorcuts settings: add expand_abbreviation_by_tab
command for tab
key for required syntax scope selectors. To get current syntax scope selector, press ⇧⌃P (OSX) or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P, it will be displayed in editor status bar.
Go to Preferences
> Key Bindings — User
and insert the following JSON snippet with properly configured scope selector instead of SCOPE_SELECTOR
token:
{
"keys": ["tab"],
"command": "expand_abbreviation_by_tab",
// put comma-separated syntax selectors for which
// you want to expandEmmet abbreviations into "operand" key
// instead of SCOPE_SELECTOR.
// Examples: source.js, text.html - source
"context": [
{
"operand": "SCOPE_SELECTOR",
"operator": "equal",
"match_all": true,
"key": "selector"
},
// run only if there's no selected text
{
"match_all": true,
"key": "selection_empty"
},
// don't work if there are active tabstops
{
"operator": "equal",
"operand": false,
"match_all": true,
"key": "has_next_field"
},
// don't work if completion popup is visible and you
// want to insert completion with Tab. If you want to
// expand Emmet with Tab even if popup is visible --
// remove this section
{
"operand": false,
"operator": "equal",
"match_all": true,
"key": "auto_complete_visible"
},
{
"match_all": true,
"key": "is_abbreviation"
}
]
}
Emmet plugin allows you to expand abbreviations with Tab key, just like regular snippets. On the other hand, due to dynamic nature and extensive syntax, sometimes you may get unexpected results. This section describes how Tab handler works and how you can fine-tune it.
By default, Tab handler works in a limited syntax scopes: HTML, XML, HAML, CSS, SASS/SCSS, LESS, PostCSS and strings in programming languages (like JavaScript, Python, Ruby etc.). It means:
line
that generates output as a single line.To fine-tune Tab key handler, you can use the following settings in user’s Emmet.sublime-settings
file:
disable_tab_abbreviations_for_scopes
— a comma-separated list of syntax scopes where Tab key handler should be disabled. For example, if you want disable handler inside strings of programming languages and HAML syntax, your setting will look like this:"disable_tab_abbreviations_for_scopes": "text.haml, string"
disabled_single_snippet_for_scopes
— a comma-separated list of syntax scopes where Tab handler should be disabled when expanding a single abbreviation. Currently, ST doesn’t provide API for getting list of native snippets. So, for example, if you try to expand a php
abbreviation, it will be passed to Emmet which outputs
instead of PHP block as defined in native ST snippets. As a workaround, if you’re trying to expand a single abbreviation inside scope defined in disabled_single_snippet_for_scopes
setting Emmet will look for its name inside its own snippets catalog first, inside known_html_tags
setting second and if it’s not found, it allows ST to handle it and expand native abbreviation, if matched.known_html_tags
— a space-separated list of all known HTML tags used for lookup as described above.If you’re unhappy with Emmet tab handler behavior, you can disable it: just add "disable_tab_abbreviations": true
into user’s Preferences.sublime-settings
file.
If your workflow already includes an automated task for CSS vendor prefixing (such as Autoprefixer), you can disable Emmet's automatic vendor prefixes insertion adding this option to your user’s Emmet.sublime-settings
file:
{
"preferences": {
"css.autoInsertVendorPrefixes": false
}
}
