Select Parent Tag

#1

Hey guys,

I have ST2 installed and I was wondering is there option to select parent tag like in the Dreamweaver? This is how it works:

<div>
  <p>
    <span>Something</span>
  </p>
</div>

If my cursor is on the text “Something” and I click option to select parent tag in Dreamweaver whole span tag will be selected. If I click again whole paragpraph will be selected. This goes all the way to the body tag.

Is there something like this in ST2?

Thanks

The ZenCoding plugin does this as one of its actions. See here: code.google.com/p/zen-coding/wik … rd/Outward

The default bindings for these two commands in Nick’s (Sublimator’s) plugin are Ctrl-Shift-T (select inward) and Ctrl-Shift-N (select outward).
