How doesn't it work?

This happens for most of the emmet commands I've tried:

I can verify that Emmet support is enabled as well:

Thanks @rbuckton. Emmet currently requires the user to open an HTML/CSS/JSX file to activate. Did you try running it in another file type, or in a freshly opened workspace?

[rbuckton]

It started working on one machine, but not one of my others, and I had an HTML file open at the time.

Even if it is specific to the open editor, I would think the command would be disabled or would report a more user friendly message when it's not supported.

I added a change that makes it so that

1. The commands should not show up when one is not viewing a file, such as when they are in the Settings editor.
2. Issuing a command activates the extension, which should reduce the occurrence of those "command not found" messages.
