Auto close tags after you type >

that, exactly. I am looking for ANY code editor/IDE that handles closing a tag when typed </

It's so much easier and faster than having it auto close, because that way your cursor is always somewhere stuck in the middle and it just doesn't work right, especially after five years of typing </

I think that this is superseded by the Zen Coding plugin.

I'm new to Sublime Text 2 and discovered the Tag package (https://github.com/SublimeText/Tag) which completes the tag after you type '</' (without quotes), similar to Dreamweaver, if I remember correctly.

Also, if you haven't discovered it already, I can thoroughly recommend Sublime Package Control which makes it really easy to install new packages, see http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control/installation

I've also just discovered: Ctrl+Space, then type the element you want, e.g. span, press Enter and the complete tag is inserted.

Yep Install "Tag" from Package Control: Install Package > Tag did the trick! Awesome editor! Perfect for me as I'm a designer and love that right navigator like in photoshop!!! Awesome, was love at first sight!

Go to your default.sublime-keymap file and place '{ "keys": ["alt+."], "command": "tag_close_tag" }' (without quotes) between the square braces. As soon as you release the '/' key it will auto close the open tag.

Package Control and Tag work beautifully! Thanks Gareth
