With the help from fraxel on this question: Assigning multiple snippets to a single key binding I was able to create a handy popup menu to organize all my snippets in the way Textmate works.
Is it possible to tell ST2 what order I want them to appear in in the overlay command palette? Right now they are seemingly random and I'd love to be able to set some order to them.
I can't tell how ST2 orders them.
More:
All of my snippets have file names that indicate their language:
e.g.
PHP_mySQLLoop.sublime-snippet
PHP_mySQLi.sublime-snippet
HTML_basePage.sublime-snippet
jQuery_ajax.sublime-snippet
The <description> I use is also standard:
JMR PHP, mySQL Loop
JMR PHP, mySQLi
JMR HTML, Base page
JMR jQuery, $ajax
Changing PHP_mySQLi.sublime-snippet to PHP_1_mySQLi.sublime-snippet or 1_PHP_mySQLi.sublime-snippet had no effect nor did changing it's description.
I do not have the <scope> set for any snippet at his point...maybe I should...?
(This is on OS X, not sure if that has anything to do with this...)

I frequently use PhpStorm's Extract variable & method refactorings. Is there a way to add/extend functionality that could create a new template file from the selected code, prompt for desired template path, and create an include/require statement for that template?
I'm asking either for an entry point into coding this functionality, or extending existing functionality. Or maybe it's already available and I missed it.
As #Ástþór mentioned, there is no such way to change the refactoring templates.
You can use surround with live templates to emulate this behavior. This will not find duplicates and will not replace them as well, but may be it's close enough what you want.
Add a surround live template like this one. Open the editor with Ctrl+Alt+S:
Edit the variables in order to get a nicer UX:
Select the variable you want to extract and select Code > Surround with Live Templates from the menu or press Ctrl+Alt+J.
Adjust the templates to your needs.

I use custom code snippet for Sublime Text like custom comments, function, reusable block code, CDN and more.. but I could not do that in WebStorm and PhpStorm IDE.
Here is my building block code snippet (comments) for Sublime Text:
/*============================

and this code blocks for HTML5 comments

Moreover I'm new user for JetBrains software. Can I use custom code snippet above in JetBrains software ?
It's called Live Templates in JetBrains IDEs.
Available at Settings/Preferences | Editor | Live Templates.
You can use existing Live Templates as is, alter them to your needs or create your own.
Creating own is better be done in own group -- they will be stored in separate config file so easier to share, no possible conflicts with built-in ones (easier to update between versions etc.). It also makes perfect sense to use separate group per language -- the same abbreviation can be used for different languages/context but abbreviation within the same group must be unique.
BTW -- I'd say -- do not edit built-ins at all -- just disable specific built-in template and create your own version of it in separate group. This way you can always see what fix/change devs have made in new IDE version etc.

Finally I get a tips ! PhpStorm allows you to create your own live templates (code snippets) to optimise your workflows.
Open the settings dialog and head into Editor | Live Templates, you can see the available live templates grouped by language. To add a new template click the + (plus) button and select Live Template. Specify the abbreviation (the short bit of text you type that will be expanded to the full code snippet) and a description.
Then provide the full code snippet in the Template text field. You can include variables in the template in the format $<variable name>$, which will allow you to provide values when the template is expanded. PhpStorm recognises $END$ as a special variable indicating the final position of the cursor after the template has been expanded and values have been provided for all variables.
Next click the Define warning text to specify which language the template is for and optionally the context it is available in.
Now the template is ready to be used. Open a file and type the abbreviation that was specified earlier, then hit Tab to expand the template. The cursor will be positioned on the first variable, provide a value then hit Tab to keep moving through all available variables. The final position of the cursor will be the location of the $END$ variable.

Creating & Editing Live Templates
I don't think you can do this, however you can add custom tags in Settings > Editor > TODO.
//TODO & //FIXME are already implemented.
But this custom tags are not working for HTML.
Maybe you can find an extension to do that in Settings > Plugins.
As a PhpStorm user, one of the disappointing things I come across when I try using Vim is the way it does syntax highlighting in HTML:
Vim colours just the tagname and attributes,leaving the <, / and > in a different colour. What's the point of that? I find this distracting compared to the view I get in PhpStorm:
(Ignore the different colour scheme.) I find it harder to read code with all those < and > characters. How I can modify Vim to do this?
I'm using the monokai colour scheme for Vim.
You don't need to modify the HTML syntax itself - this can all be done by overriding the default links. syntax/html.vim defines syntax groups for the various HTML elements, and (at the end of the script) then links those to certain highlight groups, the appearance of which is determined by your colorscheme. If you establish a different link (in your ~/.vimrc), this will be honored. So, to make the entire tag appear like the tag name, use this:
highlight link htmlTag htmlTagName
highlight link htmlEndTag htmlTagName
Make a local copy of syntax/html.vim in ~/.vim/syntax/html.vim (where the first filename is your system install dir).
Experiment with changing the hilight group of htmlTag and htmlTagEnd (near the bottom of the syntax file) to match the hilight group of htmlTagName. I like the default, so I only experimented on a few files, and it didn't seem to break anything. Being the same colour, there shouldn't be anymore chevrons sticking it to your receptor cones.
Being such a simple minded test, this does likely break something somewhere, and you'll probably have to spend a few minutes with the other hilight groups to get a consistent look.
The default SublimeText 2 snippets, located in the Packages directory and then under, say, Ruby are useful but only if you happen to know the tab trigger. For example the file ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Ruby/alias_method-..-(am).sublime-snippet contains:
<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[alias_method :${1:new_name}, :${0:old_name}]]></content>
<tabTrigger>am</tabTrigger>
<scope>source.ruby</scope>
<description>alias_method ..</description>
</snippet>
So we can access this trigger by hitting am then tab.
My question is, if this snippet chucks in alias_method :${1:new_name}, :${0:old_name} isn't there a way that I can use this snippet without knowing its am trigger, just by starting to type alias_m... for example?
Umm, no, not that I can find. I just opened up a blank Ruby file, hit a, and autocomplete popped up with all sorts of options, including the snippet you mentioned. However, if I then typed an l (starting to spell out alias...), the option for the am snippet disappeared. So, it looks like autocomplete is not searching the <description> field, only the <tabTrigger> field. There aren't any options in Preferences -> Settings - Default that would seem to address this situation.
So, unfortunately it would seem the solution is one of two things - either edit all your commonly-used snippets to have tabTriggers that make more sense to you, or put together a snippet cheat sheet. It looks like at least one other person was thinking the same thing, as I found this collection without too much searching.
Good luck!
I write an application and inside of HTML code I have custom tags (of course these tags are parsed on server side and end user gets them as valid HTML code). Example of custom tag usage:
<html>
<body>
...
<Gallery type="grid" title="My Gallery" />
...
</body>
</html>
1.) How can I have eclipse recognize my custom tags inside of HTML code and add syntax highlighting to them?
2.) How can I add auto-suggestions to my custom tags? For example if I type "<Gallery " press "Ctrl+Space" - in the list of available attributes it shows me "type" and "title" and if I type "<Gallery type=" press "Ctrl+Space" I would see list of available values only for tag "Gallery" and its attribute "type".
Thanks in advance!
Not really what you want, but maybe it helps you:
You can try the Aptana Plug-in for Eclipse. It allows to write your own regular expression for HTML validation, so a custom tag would be ignored by the validator.
E.g.:
.gallery.
Eclipse allows you to add simple auto-suggestions via Templates. On
Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo) + PHP Dev Tools (PDT) 3.0.0: Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Templates
Sadly, there is no easy way: you have to roll your own parser for this, and then add both your extra elements and the base grammar (HTML) to it.
If you have your parser, you could use it to do syntax highlighting (strictly speaking, for that simple lexing is enough); and a good parser can support content assist (auto-suggestions in your terminology).
Caveats:
Creating a parser for HTML is not an easy task. Maybe by aiming at a more often used subset is feasible.
If a parser exists, the editor parts are still hard to get well.
Some help on the other hand: you could use some text editor generators to ease your work:
Eclipse IMP http://www.eclipse.org/imp/ can in theory handle any type of parser, but currently it is most optimized for LPG. The documentation is scarce, but the developers are helpful in the forums.
Xtext http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/ got quite a hype for creating text editors for DSLs. The generated editors are quite nice out of the box, but is not the best solution for large files. Has a really helpful developer community.
EMFText http://www.emftext.org/index.php/EMFText is a lesser known entity - I don't know it in details, but I guess, it is similar to Xtext.
I know its been a long time since this Q was asked,
but I hope this might help others like myself that reach this in search of a solution.
So, When using Eclipse (Mars.1 Release (4.5.1) - and possibly earlier - I did not check).
Go to Window - Prefrences
Then in the dialog that opens go to Web - HTML Files - Editor - Validation.
On the right side:
under Ignore specified element names in validation and enter the list of custom elements you use. (e.g. Gallery,tab,tabset,my-element-directives-*)
you might also like to go under Ignore specified attribute names in validation do the same for your custom attributes.(e.g. ng-*,my-attr-directives-*)
Two things to note:
After letting eclipse do a full validation you must also close the file and reopen it to have the warnings removed from the source code.
Using this method would ignore those attributes under any element. I don't think there is a simple way to tell it to ignore some-attribute only if its a child of some-element.
I find templates are an ok alternative but let's see if we can encourage a more robust solution; please take a moment and vote for this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422584
You need to add a new HTML template.To add a new template, complete the following steps:
1) From the Window menu, select Preferences.
2) In the Preferences page, select Web and XML > HTML Files > HTML Templates.
3) Click New.
4) Enter the new template name and a brief description of the template.
5) Using the Context drop-down list, specify the context in which the template is available.
6) In the Pattern field, enter the appropriate tags, attributes, or attribute values (the content of the template) to be inserted by content assist.
7) If you want to insert a variable, click the Variable button and select the variable to be inserted. For example, the word_selection variable indicates the word that is selected at the beginning of template insertion, and the cursor variable determines where the cursor will be after the template is inserted in the HTML document.
8) Click OK to save the new template.
You can edit, remove, import, or export a template by using the same Preferences page.
