In response to Ask DN: cheatsheets What are your shortcuts, your hotkeys, your design/dev best practices, the things that make your life easier?


Apps

  • Sublime Text - with a lot of addons (detailed below)
  • aText text expander (OSX only). Considerably cheaper ($5) than the original TextExpander (~$30). For instance, each time I need to input a Markdown link I type .mkl and I get []() (otherwise I always forget which bracket is first). Also works great for code snippets.
  • SCSS
  • ReCSS bookmarklet - refresh only the css in a webpage, speeds up minor CSS changes
  • nvALT for quick notes and code snippets
  • a todo.txt todo file for day to day tasks - a text file, each day (when I have to) I input the date (by way of a aText shortcut) then list the tasks, when I cross task I change the '-' before the respective list item with a 'x' which dims the color of the line and I feel great for getting one more thing done. I didn't yet get to use the original todo.txt cli script but it's somewhere in the long term todo list :)

Sublime Text add-ons

  • Tag - usefull for webmaster/publishing work tidy-ing up 3rd party HTML - clears attributes, tags, styles
  • SFTP
  • SassBuilder as an alternative for the default command line sass compiler
  • Package Control
  • Alignment
  • AlignTab
  • BracketHighlighter
  • Browser Refresh
  • CSSFormat
  • HyperlinkHelper
  • LiveStyle - which worked but I somehow managed to break - I need to get around it, it refreshes the page you are working on upon hitting save on your css file.
  • Markdown Preview
  • MarkdownEditing
  • PhpTidy
  • RegReplace
  • SCSS
  • SublimeLinter
  • Todo.txt Syntax
  • Theme - Soda
