Sublime Text 2 Code Formatting

Question

First let me say I come from a Microsoft background and Visual Studio is my bread and butter   It has a command  keybind is arbitrary  that auto-formats any code syntax   The same command works in HTML  CSS  Javascript  C   etc     I have tried plugins for ST2 and so far I ve found most don t work on a Windows box and if they do  it s for a very specific purpose like just Javascript   I have tried  and opened Issues where appropriate    https   github com victorporof Sublime-HTMLPrettify  https   github com jdc0589 JsFormat   this one actually works   https   github com welovewordpress SublimeHtmlTidy  Have any Windows users of ST2 found anything that works to format CSS HTML Javascript  preferably in one shot   Edit  Since this question is getting lots of views with no activity  I ll say that I am still looking for a plugin that can format various script types within the same command   October 2013 Still haven t found anything that covers JS CSS HTML well however I have settled on JsFormat as by far the most effective and bug free with the least amount of configuration for just JavaScript

Sublime CodeFormatter has formatting support for PHP, JavaScript/JSON/JSONP, HTML, CSS, Python. Although I haven't used CodeFormatter for very long, I have been impressed with it's JS, HTML, and CSS "beautifying" capabilities. I haven't tried using it with PHP (I don't do any PHP development) or Python (which I have no experience with) but both languages have many options in the .sublime-settings file.

One note however, the settings aren't very easy to find. On Windows you will need to go to your %AppData%\Roaming\Sublime Text #\Packages\CodeFormatter\CodeFormatter.sublime-settings. As I don't have a Mac I'm not sure where the settings file is on OS X.

As for a shortcut key, I added this key binding to my "Key Bindings - User" file:

{
    "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+d"],
    "command": "code_formatter"
}

I use Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D because that's what Visual Studio uses for formatting. You can change it, of course, just remember that what you choose might conflict with some other feature's keyboard shortcut.

Update:

It seems as if the developers of Sublime Text CodeFormatter have made it easier to access the .sublime-settings file. If you install CodeFormatter with the Package Control plugin, you can access the settings via the Preferences -> Package Settings -> CodeFormatter -> Settings - Default and override those settings using the Preferences -> Package Settings -> CodeFormatter -> Settings - User menu item.

A similar option in Sublime Text is the built in Edit- gt Line- gt Reindent  You can put this code in Preferences - gt  Key Bindings User      keys     alt shift f     command    reindent      I use alt shift f because I m a Netbeans user   To format your code  select all by pressing ctrl a and  your key combination   Excuse me for my bad english     Or if you don t want to select all before formatting  add an argument to the command instead      keys     alt shift f     command    reindent    args     single line   false       as per comment by  Supr below

Maybe this answer is not quite what you re looking for  but it will fomat any language with the same keyboard shortcut  The solution are language specific keyboard shortcuts   For every language you want to format  you must find and download a plugin for that  for example a html formatter and a C  formatter  And then you map the command for every plugin to the same key  but with a differnt context  see the link    Greets

I can t speak for the 2nd or 3rd  but if you install Node first  Sublime-HTMLPrettify works pretty well   You have to setup your own key shortcut once it is installed   One thing I noticed on Windows  you may need to edit your path for Node in the  PATH  variable if it is already long  I think the limit is 1024 for the  PATH  variable  and anything after that is ignored      There is a Windows bug  but in the issues there is a fix for it  You ll need to edit the HTMLPrettify py file - https   github com victorporof Sublime-HTMLPrettify issues 12
