How to do tag wrapping in VS code?

Expedient wrapping with keybindings

Given that you wrap tags on a regular basis, custom keybindings can dramatically increase productivity. Access keyboard shortcuts via "⌘ Command + K, ⌘ Command + S" or "Ctrl + K Ctrl + S" on Windows to establish keybindings that make sense for you. You might assign the "Wrap with Abbreviation" command to "Alt + W" (or "Option + W" for Mac), effectively leapfrogging the need to navigate through the command palette.

Personalized tag wrapping via snippets

Enrich your VS Code experience with Snippets, which offer a layer of customization for tag wrapping beyond Emmet's functionalities. Create a custom snippet via "File > Preferences > User Snippets" (or "Code > Preferences > User Snippets" on Mac) and configure the "body" property. This tactic allows you to construct preset wrappers equipped with classes, IDs, or other attributes at will.

/** 
JavaScript objects are like rock bands
The keys are members and the body is their hit songs list 😉
*/
{
 "html": {
  "prefix": "yourSnippetName",
  "body": "<li id=\"$1\" class=\"$2\"></li>"
 }
}

Supercharged functionality via extensions

Compliment the default Emmet offering with VS Code extensions, such as "htmltagwrap". Once installed via Quick Open (use Ctrl + P then type ext install htmltagwrap), you’ll gain access to a variety of additional commands to enhance your text wrapping. Never forget to review the Visual Studio Marketplace for the latest, trendiest tools to enrich your coding adventures.

Mastering advanced wrapping techniques

For faithful Sublime Text wrapping veterans, Emmet functionalities and keybindings can be tweaked within VS Code to recreate your familiar environment. What's more, harnessing the ability to pass arguments to Emmet abbreviations provides greater versatility, enabling classes, attributes, or multiline wrapping with ease and efficiency.

Troubleshooting common wrapping challenges

While tag wrapping in VS Code is usually consistent and predictable, you can occasionally face roadblocks, such as estranged nesting or unrecognized abbreviations. To address these, familiarize yourself with Emmet's syntactical grammar. If your custom modifications aren't yielding expected results, review your keybindings.json configuration and snippets setup for exhaustive debugging.
