HTML keyboard shortcuts in Sublime Text 2?

Question

I switched from Textmate to Sublime in the past few months and have been busy trying to re-train my brain and fingers to use the new shortcut keys.

In Textmate, when editing an HTML documents, I could highlight text and do Command+b to wrap the selected text in <b></b> tags or Command+i to wrap in <i></i>...among various other commands/tags.

So, is there a way to do that in Sublime? I know I can type b, TAB to create an empty set of <b></b> tags, but I want to be able to wrap selected text in various tags.

Solution 1

Mac:
Ctrl+Shift+W

Windows/Linux:
Alt+Shift+W

Then type which tag you want (i, b, etc.).

Solution 2

    { "keys": ["super+alt+b"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"contents": "<strong>${0:$SELECTION}</strong>" } },
{ "keys": ["super+alt+i"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"contents": "<em>${0:$SELECTION}</em>" } }

Above can be added to user key bindings file to have selection surrounded by strong tags upon pressing Cmd+Alt+b and by italic tags upon pressing Cmd+Alt+i (on Mac).
