In notepad++ zen coding has a pretty good key binding: next edit point [Ctrl+Alt+Right].
What is the key binding for “next edit point” in ST2?

It’s “ctrl+period”. All bindings are defined here: Packages/ZenCoding/Default (Windows).sublime-keymap

Hi all,

Apologies for not going through all 33 pages in this discussion but I can’t figure out to expand an abbreviation using Zen Coding in ST2.

I’ve put the following:

ul>li*5

And pressed all combinations of keys that I can find documented and listed online … nothing works. Works fine in Coda so I know the abbreviation is OK.

Can anyone help a complete ST2 n00b figure out the key combination to expand the above?

Thanks.

Press tab.

Pressing Tab does command completion for me.

That didn’t do anything for me, although it is doing something it hasn’t done before.

When I type ul>li and press TAB, I get the following …

ul>

li

I know it’s valid as it works in Coda … even this works in Coda: div#hello>ul>li*5>a.link>span.link-inner

Sorry for sounding like I’m bitching, just really new to ST2.

Where on the keyboard key “period”? Under the “escape”?

Hello, sorry for not reading all the 35 pages.

I just discovered yesterday ZenCoding for Eclipse.
I wanted to setting it up on my text editor (sublime text 2 for windows)

I have followed all the instruction.
Install Package Control, then CTRL+MAJ+P => install package => Zen Coding.

The ZenCoding package is succesfully installed.

while i try to use it tipping this :

div#something>ul>li.item*6>a>img.something

then press TAB, i don’t get anything;

I try to google this issue and all the tuto stops after the installation of Zen Coding.
What am I doing wrong, i don’t get it !?

I can confirm this. Zen coding is a great thing, but so far the ST2 plugin is a bit hit or miss.

Using kopax’s example, div#something works as expected. But div#something>ul gives me

div#something><ul id="" class=""> <li><a href="" title=""></a></li> li </ul><!-- / -->

what the hell?

Give this a try. You have to be explicit with the a tag. It is a bit hackey but it works.

But why does this simpler version fail?

div#something>ul

or even div#something>p

It probably has something to do with the ST2 tab triggers that are already built in. If you add *1 to the end of them they work as intended.

div#something>ul*1

or even div#something>p*1

You asked where the period was on the keyboard? A period is the ‘full stop’ key, the character, with which, you end a sentence.<<<

Between the < and ? key

Does anyone know what happened to the period and # keys? whenever I used to press them it would give me class="" or id="", I thought it was a zen coding plugin thing… but it seems that doesn’t work anymore.

What version of Sublime are you using, OS and version number?

I copied and pasted your zen code and get the following as I would expect :S

<div id="something">
    <ul>
        <li class="item"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" class="something"></a></li>
        <li class="item"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" class="something"></a></li>
        <li class="item"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" class="something"></a></li>
        <li class="item"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" class="something"></a></li>
        <li class="item"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" class="something"></a></li>
        <li class="item"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" class="something"></a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

I had this a while back, a custom snippet was intefering/competing with zen coding. HTML auto completion perhaps?

Both your snippets work flawlessly for me (I am on a brand new ST2 with only ZenCoding installed)).

Those work great for me as well, but I have another issue…

Working in an HTML file, if I try and wrap a bunch of paragraphs with

tags by selecting them, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Enter and using p* it converts any dollar signs with numbers in the paragraphs to blackslashes “”.

eg. This:

khasdkhasd $4 bazillion khasdkhasd $4 bazillion khasdkhasd $4 bazillion
Ctrl+Alt+Enter, P, *, Enter

Gives:

[code]

khasdkhasd \ bazillion

khasdkhasd \ bazillion

khasdkhasd \ bazillion

[/code] Instead of the expected:[code]

khasdkhasd $4 bazillion

khasdkhasd $4 bazillion

khasdkhasd $4 bazillion

[/code] This happens for me in a clean installation of Sublime Text 2 Build 2181 x64 (portable package) that I installed Package Control in, restarted, installed Zen Coding using Package Control, restarted.

Can anyone else replicate this, or better still suggest a fix/workaround?

Thanks

P.S. Windows 7 Pro x64

hi everyone

After update to the last stable version of sublime i noticed the strange behavior of zen coding

when i try to expand
“span.text” i expect to appear

<span class="text"></span>

but instead i get this line

span.text('some text')

Any ideas why this happening?

span.some-text expanded properly.
Here the console output:

command: insert_best_completion {"default": " ", "exact": false} ZenCoding: on_query_completions prefix: u'text' ZenCoding: on_query_completions abbr: u'span.text' ZenCoding: on_query_completions expand_abbr abbr: u'span.text' result: u'<span class="text">${1001:$SELECTION}</span>'

PS sorry for my english
