This is normally a plugin in sublime text, not sure if it's in workspaces.

It identifies what your trying to type and will autocomplete when you press tab.

The plugin you refer to is known as Emmet and it is available for a lot of editors, including free ones such as Notepad++, Eclipse, Aptana Studio, etc. and paid ones such as Sublime Text, Adobe Dreamweaver, etc. You can use it with some online services such as Codepen. You can click this link to see what editors, online services, and third party support that the plugin has Emmet - Download.

Thank you! Very informative.

You are using workspaces and he is using a different editor. Some editors add things automatically to make coding quicker

Yep, that is exactly what I wanted to know. How to work quicker without having to type all of the code. Workspaces does some of it.

Thank you.
