All I Want for Christmas: TextExpander

A really great (and free) alternative for Windows is PhraseExpress, which can actually import TextExpander phrases and macros.

Some of the ones I use the most are:

vthis
var $this = $(this)

jscon
console.log({#cursor});

<?
<?php {#cursor} ?>

?=
<?= {#cursor} ?>

ppr
echo '<pre>',print_r({#cursor}),'</pre>';

`lor
5 lines of lorem ipsum

,time
{#datetime -f mm'/'dd'/'yyyy}
