i am trying to figure out how this can be efficient, maybe i am doing  
something wrong.

to get <span class="junk"><a href="bogus.html">blah blah</a></span>

i type span[ctrl+<] which gives me <span>[cursor</span> so i have to  
press [left-arrow] class="junk"[right-arrow]
and likewise for a[ctrl+<][left-arrow] href="bogus.html"[right-arrow] 
blah blah

am i missing some other way to use this shortcut?  all the cursor  
movement seems superfluous and counter-productive for any tags that  
have attributes.
