Brackets editor - shortcut to create an open/closed set of brackets

In TextMate there is a very useful shortcut where you hit CMD+SHIFT+W and it opens a 

<p></p>

with your cursor over the p; you then type anything you want, and it will adjust it, e.g.

<h1></h1>

Brackets has auto-close but I loved the one-stroke simplicity of the Textmate shortcut, and am trying to replicate in Brackets, but I can't find the shortcut/extension to do it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

There are currently two extensions for Adobe Brackets that implement keyboard shortcuts for markup generation, but do not exactly replicate TextMates behaviour.

Quick Markup, which was created by one of the core developers of Brackets, adds a panel to the editor that enables you to quickly format the selected HTML, much like the StackOverflow post editor. In addition, it provides a number of keyboard shortcuts for inserting paragraphs, headings and other things.

If you need more advanced shortcuts, then you should definitely check out Emmet (formerly known as zen coding). It allows you to write CSS-like selectors that generate markup and provides a vast amount of tools for editing and navigation around markup.
