When I write

\begin{enumerate}

sublime text does not auto complete it to

\begin{enumerate} \item \end{enumerate} 

like I would expect. Is there a way to achieve this?

To put a new \item press Shift + Enter at the end of line

For a quick view of these short cuts Press Tools and then Snippets (Cntrl+L, Cntrl+S) to get

  • Are you not using WinEdt as your editor anymore? Jan 13, 2015 at 13:25

Type begin (without the \), then push TAB. This will complete the environment so you will see

\begin{env}

\end{env}

and the cursor will be highlighting both envs. You can then type enumerate, which will fill enumerate into both env spots, and add an item in the middle:

\begin{enumerate}
    item 
\end{enumerate}

Unfortunately, it seems there is a bug that the \ before item is not added automatically. The same works for itemize.
