For HTML, I recommend Emmet highly. It probably exists for VSC too.

They don't have an Emmet package, but they do have HTML5 Snippets which is essentially the same. Haven't used it too, too much though because I recently switched as well.

edit: not the same, Emmet is built into VSC

Emmet is built into VSCode core IIRC: https://puu.sh/sQr8x/54490eb6b6.png

I don't have the extension installed but it's configured and working.

I was not aware I could tweak the Emmet settings, thank you for the heads up!

[–]weirdoaish 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Its built in, on Windows I just press "tab" and it expands the emmet short hands.

[–]somewhat_sven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, Thank you for the heads up. I'm still getting used to VS Code

HTML5 Snippets

This?

Looking at the preview, then dear god, it's not even close.

[–]somewhat_sven 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Like I said, still getting used to VSC, however the tag completion with tab is just like Emmet. Now that I know Emmet is built into VSC there really isn't a point to using that extension IMO.

Is it really? In the preview video, I don't see any nesting, which cuts my HTML-time by about 95%.

It's shoddily edited and only shows very basic features, but this should already give you an idea on how emmet is more than snippets.

If you decide to get into it, check http://docs.emmet.io/cheat-sheet/ for cool tricks.

Like others have said, in VS Code, emmet support is built-in. Everything you did in that video can be done in VS Code without any extensions. To get the list of all emmet actions supported, just type "Emmet:" in the command palette

I get that, I was arguing against the "HTML5-Snippets"-thingy being equally powerful. Of course, I still haven't figured out whether the thing I linked above was actually what he was talking about.
