Automatic insertion of \item in Sublime Text 2

Question

Is there a way to automatically insert \item whenever I hit enter within an itemize or enumerate in Sublime Text 2?

Answer 1

If you have the LaTeXTools plugin, it already does that exept that it is mapped on Shift+Enter instead of Enter.

The corresponding code is in the default (PLATFORM).sublime-keymap

// automatic addition of new \items when hitting Shift+Enter in a list environment
{ "keys": ["shift+enter"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"contents": "\n\\item $0"}, 
"context":  
    [
        {"key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "meta.function.environment.list.latex"},
        { "key": "setting.auto_match_enabled", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
        { "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true }
    ]
},

You can duplicate it or modify it in order to map it on another key by replacing the content inside of the first brackets after "keys"

Answer 2

If you're using the LaTeX Tools package, hitting Shift+Enter within any sort of list environment will insert new \items (if you're not, you really should be). If you want change this to just Enter, you'll have to change the user keybindings (Preferences > Package Settings > LaTeXTools > Keybindings – User).
