[TxMt] Stupid CSS Tricks

[Brett Terpstra]

Okay, their stupidity is arguable, it's just that they're so simple  
it hurts.  But they just helped me finish a CSS job in record time,  
so I thought I'd share.  They're set up to let you speed through  
setting up your selectors and then add the definitions you're sure  
about.  Then you can insert lines and use tab triggered shortcuts to  
insert further definitions.  Hitting tab at the end of a rule builds  
a new rule, hitting tab at the end of a property:value; creates a new  
property:value; line.  I set up #-Tab to create a quick ID snippet  
and .-tab to do a class.  They do the same thing, it just works the  
way a CSS coder thinks (or at least the way I do).

Lastly, I scoped the Insert Color command to meta.property-list.css  
and added a # tab trigger.  The ID tab trigger is scoped to  
source.css.  So if you're inside of a definition typing #-Tab will  
give you the color picker (with the groovy color shortcuts) and  
outside will give you a new id.  I didn't throw that into the bundle,  
I'll let you make that mod on your own if you see fit.

Side note:  Learning the CTRL-[alpha] navigation keys has been a huge  
timesaver for me.  Moving my hand over to the arrow keys was almost  
as bad as picking up the mouse!
