Coding Shortcuts/snippets

Report · May 26, 2017

Hi,

I'm currently watching the tutorial videos. The speaker simply presses types the code (e.g. nav), then presses space bar, and the dreamweaver adds all the opening and closing brackets. Why doesn't it work when I do the same?

Regards,

Press SHIFT+F9 which will open the Snippets panel. When you click on a snippet and press enter, the code will be placed into your document.

There is also the Emmet shortcuts which are really handy for routine coding tasks. One example, on a blank document, type an exclamation mark ! followed by the tab key. Instant HTML5 document.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>Document</title>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Between the <body> tags, type

p*5>lorem & hit the tab key. Voila! 5 paragraphs of placeholder text. The list of things you can do with Emmet shortcuts is almost endless. Read more about ti below.
