Description

With Emmet, there are a lot of shortcuts and keys to facilitate typing in markdown. Examples:

  • Type !+tab and a whole html5 codebase shows up
  • Edit various parts at the same time by clicking the cursor in multiple locations while holding the command key (I think it's Crtl on Windows)
  • Type cmd+/ to add a comment to a selection
  • Tons of keys for various programming languages

And there's much more than that.

Proposal

Make Emmet available for all text fields with markdown support in GitLab

Documentation blurb

(Write the start of the documentation of this feature here, include:

  1. Why should someone use it; what's the underlying problem.
  2. What is the solution.
  3. How does someone use this

During implementation, this can then be copied and used as a starter for the documentation.)
