Vim key mapping for emmet-vim

Ok here is what I want to accomplish:

Here is what I have tried

Though the above code is useful, I need it to work in INSERT mode

I am transferring over from Sublime Text to VIM and I miss having the Emmet functionality so easily accessible. Any ideas as to how I can achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Solved my problem by including the following lines in my .vimrc file. 

let g:user_emmet_expandabbr_key='<Tab>'
imap <expr> <tab> emmet#expandAbbrIntelligent("\<tab>")

Now I can use the TAB key to both indent and activate Emmet snippets in INSERT mode :D

I'm guessing that the reason for your setting not working in INSERT mode is because <tab> is mapped to something elsewhere (most likely with some auto-completion plugins). You can try to find what's mapped by :verbose imap <tab> when editing HTML files and disable that, but I think the simpler solution is to override the mapping yourself, like this:

augroup EmmetSettings
  autocmd! FileType html imap <tab> <plug>(emmet-expand-abbr)
augroup END

To know what is done above, see :h autocmd (and :h augroup). Basically it's telling vim to execute the specified command when editing html files. To know about other mappings you can use, see the doc.
