Please report any problems at issue tracker.

Tab key

Currently, Emmet expands abbreviations by Tab key only for HTML, CSS, Sass/SCSS and LESS syntaxes. Tab handler scope is limited because it overrides default snippets.

If you want to make Emmet expand abbreviations with Tab key for other syntaxes, you can do the following:

1. Use Open Your Keymap menu item to open your custom keymap.cson file.
2. Add the following section into it:

'atom-text-editor[data-grammar="YOUR GRAMMAR HERE"]:not([mini])':
    'tab': 'emmet:expand-abbreviation-with-tab'

Replace YOUR GRAMMAR HERE with actual grammar attribute value. The easiest way to get grammar name of currently opened editor is to open DevTools and find corresponding <atom-text-editor> element: it will contain data-grammar attribute with value you need. For example, for HTML syntax it’s a text html basic.

You can add as many sections as you like for different syntaxes. Note that default snippets will no longer work, but you can add your own snippets in Emmet.

Default Keybindings

You can change these in Preferences > Keybindings.

All actions and their keyboard shortcuts are available under Packages > Emmet menu item.

Extensions support

You can easily extend Emmet with new actions and filters or customize existing ones. In Preferences > Emmet, set Extensions path to folder with Emmet extensions. By default, it’s ~/emmet, e.g. emmet folder in your system HOME folder.
