Sublime auto indent children

Question

Often I come to the same problem,

If I need to add a wrapper (another element to wrap elements), I have to manually select the children tab them etc...

I was wondering is there anything out there for sublime text 3, to recognise that you are indenting a parent, therefore all children should be indented automatically ?

Edit I feel stylus, less and other tab based hierarchy language could suffer from the same symptoms.

Cheers.

Answer 1

There's "Expand selection to indentation" to select lines with the same indentation level. The default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+J.

To add a wrapper:

• move the cursor to the first child
• hit Ctrl+Shift+J to expand the selection
• indent with Tab or Ctrl+]
• hit ↑ to move the cursor above the selection
• hit Ctrl+Enter to insert a new line

I think, I would have to accept this answer :) thanks... very nice Image btw – Favoritism

The key combos look quite cryptic, an image is much easier to understand :) You could also record a macro if you need this frequently. – Flouncing
