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 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!)?  :)

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).
