## How to install
*Warning:* this plugin may not work at all in some OSes since it written in JavaScript and uses [PyV8](http://code.google.com/p/pyv8/) and [Google V8](https://developers.google.com/v8/) binaries to run. If you experience problems or editor crashes please [fill an issue](https://github.com/sergeche/emmet-sublime/issues).
With [Package Control](http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control):
1. Run “Package Control: Install Package” command, find and install `Emmet` plugin.
2. Restart ST editor (if required)
Manually:
1. Clone or [download](https://github.com/sergeche/emmet-sublime/archive/master.zip) git repo into your packages folder (in ST, find Browse Packages... menu item to open this folder)
2. Restart ST editor (if required)
--------------
**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](https://github.com/emmetio/pyv8-binaries).

## Extensions support ##
You can easily [extend](http://docs.emmet.io/customization/) 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](https://github.com/sergeche/emmet-sublime/blob/master/Emmet.sublime-settings#L61) for examples.
## Overriding keyboard shortcuts ##
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 <kbd>Ctrl+E</kbd> (“Expand Abbreviation”) and <kbd>Ctrl+U</kbd> (“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.
## How to expand abbreviations with Tab in other syntaxes
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](http://sublime-text-unofficial-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/sublime-text-2/reference/key_bindings.html): add `expand_abbreviation_by_tab` command for `tab` key for required syntax *scope selectors*. To get current syntax scope selector, press <kbd>⇧⌃P</kbd> (OSX) or <kbd>Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P</kbd>, 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:
```js
{
"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"
}
]
}
```
### Tab key handler ###
Emmet plugin allows you to expand abbreviations with <kbd>Tab</kbd> 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 i
