How to quickly enter "$" and "->" symbols in sublime text or phpstrom?

Question

For example, if I input the '$' symbol, I want to change it to pressing the 'A' key, and then pressing the Tab key to automatically change it to the '$' symbol. Or is there any other way to input quickly?

Answer 1

But try the custom code snippet function

Answer 2

The Tab key is usually used for indentation. It is best not to change it into a shortcut key. If you knock it manually, you won't miss any bones.
