Sublime Text 2 Code Formatting

First let me say I come from a Microsoft background and Visual Studio is my bread and butter. It has a command (keybind is arbitrary) that auto-formats any code syntax. The same command works in HTML, CSS, Javascript, C#, etc.

I have tried plugins for ST2 and so far I've found most don't work on a Windows box and if they do, it's for a very specific purpose like just Javascript.

I have tried (and opened Issues where appropriate):

https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify

https://github.com/jdc0589/JsFormat (this one actually works)

https://github.com/welovewordpress/SublimeHtmlTidy

Have any Windows users of ST2 found anything that works to format CSS/HTML/Javascript, preferably in one shot?

Edit: Since this question is getting lots of views with no activity, I'll say that I am still looking for a plugin that can format various script types within the same command.

October 2013 Still haven't found anything that covers JS+CSS+HTML well however I have settled on JsFormat as by far the most effective and bug free with the least amount of configuration for just JavaScript.

Solution 1:

A similar option in Sublime Text is the built in Edit->Line->Reindent. You can put this code in Preferences -> Key Bindings User:

{ "keys": ["alt+shift+f"], "command": "reindent"} 

I use alt+shift+f because I'm a Netbeans user.

To format your code, select all by pressing ctrl+a and "your key combination". Excuse me for my bad english.

Or if you don't want to select all before formatting, add an argument to the command instead:

{ "keys": ["alt+shift+f"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} }

(as per comment by @Supr below)

Solution 2:

Sublime CodeFormatter has formatting support for PHP, JavaScript/JSON/JSONP, HTML, CSS, Python. Although I haven't used CodeFormatter for very long, I have been impressed with it's JS, HTML, and CSS "beautifying" capabilities. I haven't tried using it with PHP (I don't do any PHP development) or Python (which I have no experience with) but both languages have many options in the .sublime-settings file.

One note however, the settings aren't very easy to find. On Windows you will need to go to your %AppData%\Roaming\Sublime Text #\Packages\CodeFormatter\CodeFormatter.sublime-settings. As I don't have a Mac I'm not sure where the settings file is on OS X.

As for a shortcut key, I added this key binding to my "Key Bindings - User" file:

{
    "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+d"],
    "command": "code_formatter"
}

I use Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D because that's what Visual Studio uses for formatting. You can change it, of course, just remember that what you choose might conflict with some other feature's keyboard shortcut.

Update:

It seems as if the developers of Sublime Text CodeFormatter have made it easier to access the .sublime-settings file. If you install CodeFormatter with the Package Control plugin, you can access the settings via the Preferences -> Package Settings -> CodeFormatter -> Settings - Default and override those settings using the Preferences -> Package Settings -> CodeFormatter -> Settings - User menu item.

Solution 3:

I can't speak for the 2nd or 3rd, but if you install Node first, Sublime-HTMLPrettify works pretty well. You have to setup your own key shortcut once it is installed. One thing I noticed on Windows, you may need to edit your path for Node in the %PATH% variable if it is already long (I think the limit is 1024 for the %PATH% variable, and anything after that is ignored.)

There is a Windows bug, but in the issues there is a fix for it. You'll need to edit the HTMLPrettify.py file - https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify/issues/12
