A few responses ...
- Is there an <a href... snippet, I can not find it
I don't use HTML much but it is *extremely* easy to write your own snippets if you can't find exactly what you're looking for. Give it a shot with the bundle editor.
- I am liking soft tabs a lot, as they seem to allow me to align
things better, and when files move to other places, they stay lined up regardless of the tab stop setting. I was happily working in 4 spaces per tab stop, and wanted to move to 5, changing it did nothing. I had to convert spaces to tabs, then make the change. I am not entirely sure what I did really. Can someone give me a primer or point me to docs on how this works?
I think changing your soft tab amount is only a forward operation. Since it is only inserting spaces for you it probably can't figure what what it inserted as spaces and what you did. Might I recommend using real tabs instead (/ducks!)? :)
- Any of you care to share your top #1 little tricks, the one thing
you use all the time, that just makes you happy every time you invoke it? I mainly work in php, so leaning on things that would be helpful in that area would be nice. Second would be bash, and lately, for some odd reason, I have been spending some time in TCL, but not much, so I am not sure how many tricks in there would benefit me in the long run.
By far my most valuable feature is cmd-t (go to file). Also, the cmd-opt-[ (indent line) works rather well for me. I've also written a couple custom commands that I find very useful (e.g., open up docs based on selected word, statically analyze code, etc).
