Is there a snippets program that allows for tab entry of variables across the mac?

I love Sublime Text editor and the ability to create code snippets like so:

<snippet>
  <content><![CDATA[\$("${1:selector}").${2:method}]]></content>
  <tabTrigger>jq</tabTrigger>
</snippet>

This allows me to type

jq[tab] 

and then have it expand to

$("selector").method 

where I am able to tab through the string 'selector' and 'method' in order to change them. But what I'd really like to do is use this same snippet when working in Chrome Dev Tools, so I was looking for a mac snippets program that could support this. However, the three programs that I looked at (Keyboard Maestro, Snippets, CodeBox) don't support the ability to tab through to highlight predetermined strings and change them.

Does anyone know of an app that will do this?
