I'm learning web development, but Adobe Brackets' enter key behaviour is a little strange in my opinion. What happens is this:

I type <html like so:

then once I add the remaining >, it autocompletes the element

Then I'd press enter to do more coding within that element, but the element appears like this when I press enter, making me use the mouse to correct the cursor:

When the desired result is like this:

How can I achieve that? I've tried to search for plugins and key-combos, but I can't find anything.

This is no big deal, you're just overthinking it a bit. The solution is much simpler than you're realizing. Brackets is doing exactly what it's programmed to do in this situation. After it adds your closing tag just hit return once more then hit your up arrow once and then tab once. It will put the cursor exactly where you want it. You can then proceed to code normally.
