Amazing Emmet shortcuts for HTML and CSS to code faster
Emmet is one of the most useful extensions which are used to write lines of code with a single shortcut. Here are some top Emmet shortcuts to save your time ⏳.
Prerequisites
- Make sure you have Emmet extension installed in your code editor.
- For visual studio code
- For Jetbrains IDEs
- For Atom
- Knowledge on HTML, CSS
Let’s get started
1. Sibling - +
main+section+footer
<main></main>
<section></section>
<footer></footer>2. Child - >
html>body>main>h1
<html>
<body>
<main>
<h1></h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>3. Climb-up - ^
Each ^ makes the element separate from previous element by one level.
div+div>p>span+em^^bq
<div></div>
<div>
<p><span></span><em></em></p>
</div>
<blockquote></blockquote>4. Multiplication - *
select>option*3
<select name="" id="">
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
</select>5. Item numbering - $
h$[title=item$]{Header $}*3
<h1 title="item1">Header 1</h1>
<h2 title="item2">Header 2</h2>
<h3 title="item3">Header 3</h3>Reverse
h$@-*3
<h3></h3>
<h2></h2>
<h1></h1>Start from
h$@3*5
<h3></h3>
<h4></h4>
<h5></h5>
<h6></h6>
<h7></h7>6. Grouping - ()
You can’t do something like this main>h1+footer. These is where grouping helps.
(main>h1)+footer
<main>
<h1></h1>
</main>
<footer></footer>7. ID and CLASS attributes - #,.
form#search.wide
<form id="search" class="wide"></form>
div.class1.class2
<div class="class1 class2"></div>8. Custom attributes
input[type="password" name="password"]
<input type="password" name="password">9. Text - {}
button{Click me}
<button>Click me</button>10. Implicit tag names
table>.row>.col
<table>
<tr class="row">
<td class="col"></td>
</tr>
</table>Now see some CSS 🥶
pos:f
position:fixed;
d:if
display:inline-flex;
d:tbclg
display:table-column-group;
mb:a
margin-bottom:auto;
bxsh

whs:nw
white-space:nowrap;
bgc:t

bd+
border:1px solid #000;
trf:t3
transform: translate3d(tx, ty, tz);
anim-

@kf
@-webkit-keyframes identifier {
from { }
to { }
}
@-o-keyframes identifier {
from { }
to { }
}
@-moz-keyframes identifier {
from { }
to { }
}
@keyframes identifier {
from { }
to { }
}That’s it
