Sublime Text 2 text selection within tags

Question

I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to select text between tags, such as:

<div>This is the text I want to Select</div>

I've done some searching on google, the st2 site and here, but can't find this shortcut. I know command + L will grab the entire line.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Try ⌘ + Shift + a

I think that's the correct keybinding in OSX. If not, look for the expand_selection command in the default keymap with the arguments {"to": "tag"}

For windows/nix: Try Ctrl + Shift + a

Solution 2

It only works if you have a language specified e.g under view > syntax. If it's just showing as a plain text file it doesn't do anything.

Exactly what I was after. Thank You.

ctrl + shift + a for non-Mac users. Press it a second time to select the tags as well.

@JitendraVyas In the ST console, enter sublime.log_commands(True) and press the keybinding. What comes up? Alternatively, you can look under the Selection menu entry for what the keybinding is on your system. If nothing is listed, or it still isn't working, it's possible a plugin may be using the same key binding. The above mentioned log_command step should help gain some insight if that is the case.
