Select all html tag

[JackGarner]

hi all.
How to select all html tag with the both brackets by hotkey?
ctrl-alt-m select text only inside, but i need all tag. This feature is in pspad and very useful.
Example tag

<div>
text
sadsa
das
</div>

so, ctrl-alt-m return only

text
sadsa
das

, i need after press hotkey

<div>
text
sadsa
das
</div>

I need this too. Please consider editing the title, this ticket is not even tagged as "enhancement", admins don't even understand what it means from the title.

"Select complete tag" maybe?

So what this issue is asking for is a command to select the tags as well as the tag contents?

[revelt]

Exactly. Like CTRL+CMD+M but more than that, with opening and closing tag part.

On the original example code, I would place the cursor on the opening <div> and I'd get all of it selected, from <div> to </div>.

If you could trigger this when cursor is placed on closing tag (</div> in above example) — bonus points 👍

This would be a great improvement over current feature. Right now it is difficult to select the whole block to cut and paste it somewhere else. Current feature only selects inner part which limits the scope of this package. I am doing the selection manually now without using the shortcut key. Please let me know if anyone know any other way to do this right now.

Would also really appreciate this. +1

This issue is slightly muddy as there are no visuals are we're actually talking about two features.

Issue 1. Fixing broken ctrl-cmd-M

Currently:

Desired:

Now, ctrl-cmd-M was originally meant for JS and it selects contents between brackets/curlies perfectly. It was not originally meant for HTML, hence this issue.

Issue 2. New feature request – being able to select opening tag, its closing tag and all contents in-between (not only content between opening and closing tag)

---

So, the issue number two above is different, yet even more desired feature. It's similar to Dreamweaver's Collapse Full Tag if some of you remember that. You were able to trigger collapsing by placing cursor anywhere on, right before or right after opening or closing tags. With collapsed piece you then could move/delete/cut/paste-over it.

Probably we should create a separate ticket for second feature, and leave this issue specifically for ctrl-cmd-M to be fixed on HTML. What do you guys think?

Issue 1 is already fixed and is currently scheduled to be released in Atom 1.22

@revelt Thank you for the graphics they really help out to understand the request 🙇‍♂️ Do you want to open a new issue for issue 2 if that is a feature you want? Be sure to completely fill out the required issue template.

I am going to close this one out since it seems like we are mixing two different issues here and I'm not sure which one this issue is referring to.

[revelt]

Logical. I'll trawl the issues, maybe we already got something like this requested. Thanks for helping!

@revelt , Issue opened by @JackGarner was for Issue No:2 and not Issue No:1. Even your previous comment stated same. I am not sure what confused everyone after that. Please don't hijack threads and close it as there are people waiting for a fix for this.

[revelt]

@akhilcb you are right, issue "number one" is not released yet so maybe closing was a bit premature. At least it's coming soon..
