Handy Shortcuts ! or doc creates a full html5 skeleton input:radio creates a full radio input button link:css creates a link tag with the css info meta:utf creates a meta tag with the full utf info meta:vp creates a meta tag with viewport info form:post creates a POST form

Emmet for Sublime

Css is handled a bit differently because it would be hard to remember all of the shortcuts for css attributes (although they still have them if you want to use them).

Instead, they have something called fuzzy search.

The way it works is that you can type whatever you like, and emmet guesses which you meant.

If you wanted overflow:hidden; you could type ovh, ov:h, ov-h, or even oh.
