console.log() key binding for Sublime Text

Go to Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Key Bindings - User and add this JSON to the file:

[
    { "keys": ["super+shift+l"],
      "command": "insert_snippet",
      "args": {
        "contents": "console.log(${1:}$SELECTION);${0}"
      }
    }
]

Inserts a console.log() at the current cursor position, tab once to jump past.

Hi man, thanks for your version of the key binding.
Just one question - how should I adjust it to have it working in the html files as well as ? (even outside the <script><script> block)?

I've tried several variants, but haven't succeed.

Regards,

where can i find the documentation for defining the args? how can i know about ${1:}? $SELECTION? ${0}? been googling and found the official documentation here http://sublime-text-unofficial-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/customization/key_bindings.html but didn't find the answer :(

Does anyone know how to insert a newline first, then insert the snippet on the new line?

This is useful when I want to select a variable and just the shortcut to console log on the next line. This current implement does it in-line which breaks syntax.

My update to print valueName => value with two cursors : console.log('CURSOR => ',CURSOR)

[
    { "keys": ["super+shift+l"],
      "command": "insert_snippet",
      "args": {
        "contents": "console.log('${1:}$SELECTION => ',${1:}$SELECTION);${0}"
      }
    }
]

Using macro, you can output a new line console.log.

This is great, but (as per previous reply) where are ${1:}, $SELECTION and ${0} documented?
