CSS3

The most complete CSS and PostCSS-cssnext support for Sublime Text.

Features

• Absurdly Complete: I mined the entire set of draft specs and supported everything. Some of this stuff won't be implemented in browsers for years. If it's in the spec, it's supported.
• Future Proof: PostCSS-cssnext is fully supported. If you use cssnext, you can use futuristic CSS like...
  • nesting
  • custom selectors
  • custom properties
  • custom media queries
  • CSS Modules
  • lots more
• Productive: Offers a full set of completions for properties, descriptors, @-rules, functions, and selectors. The completions are highly specific to what you're writing.
• Modern: Bad, old CSS is flagged. Unnecessarily prefixed properties aren't highlighted. Catches lots of mistakes. Encourages best practices.
• Faithful: Follows the W3C specs extremely closely.
• Fast: CSS3 has been designed for Sublime's new custom regex engine, which is crazy fast. The syntax highlighting typically takes less than 100ms, even for very large CSS files.

Before & After

Installation

1. Install Package Control

2. Install CSS3

   Platform	Install Command
   Mac	cmd+shift+p   → Package Control: Install Package → CSS3
   Linux/Windows	ctrl+shift+p → Package Control: Install Package → CSS3

3. (Required) Disable the default CSS package

   Platform	Disable Command
   Mac	cmd+shift+p   → Package Control: Disable Package → CSS
   Linux/Windows	ctrl+shift+p → Package Control: Disable Package → CSS

   

   Make sure you don't have any open files set to the default CSS syntax (bottom-right) or you may get an error message.

4. (Strongly Recommended) Enable completions inside completions

   By default, Sublime will not offer completions inside completions. In other words, the completions menu is suppressed when you're tabbing through a snippet. This prevents a lot of CSS3 completions from appearing. Add these keys to your User Settings to fix this:

   "auto_complete_commit_on_tab": true,
   "auto_complete_with_fields": true,
   

5. (Recommended) Hide CSS completions from Emmet

   If you have Emmet installed, its completions will drown out the carefully researched, standards-based completions offered by this package. You can hide Emmet completions for CSS only by adding this line to your Emmet package settings.

   "abbreviation_preview": "markup"
   

6. (Recommended) Set CSS3 as the default language for .css files

   • Open a .css file.
   • View → Syntax → Open all with current extension as... → CSS3

   

Best Practices

• Always use quotes inside url(). Unquoted URLs are intentionally not highlighted.
