Emmet in Onivim 2 · Onivim 2 User Manual

Onivim 2 supports basic Emmet expansions out-of-the-box, no extensions needed:

emmet-demo

This is provided by a bundled Emmet extension.

Supported files

The following file types are supported:

As you type, if an Emmet expansion is available, the expansion will be shown in the completion pop-up alongside other completion items.

Pressing Tab will expand the abbreviation.

Once expanded, the text behaves like a snippet - and Tab and Shift+Tab can be used to navigate the placeholders.

The following configuration is recommended for using Emmet with Onivim 2:

"emmet.showSuggestionsAsSnippets": true,
"editor.snippetSuggestions": "top"

This ensures that Emmet expansions take priority over other completion items.

Emmet can be used with other filetypes, by specifying the emmet.includeLanguages setting.

This setting is a dictionary, mapping from a source filetype to a destination filetype to be used for Emmet expansions.

For example, this configuration setting:

  "emmet.includeLanguages": {
    "javascript": "javascriptreact",
    "typescript": "typescriptreact"
  }

will allow Emmet to be used in js, jsx, ts, and tsx files.
