I have an admission to make. I haven't explored all the features and functions of the program. I tend to type away and refer to books as guides. Which trick or feature is most useful to you when using the editor, making your job easier

you might not know these:

* middle-click tab to close it
* shift+click Image, Link, Line or other HTML toolbar button to insert these without invoking dialog windows
* you can customize right-click menu, put anything you like there
* you can modify/update the wey syntax is colored (the logics), but it takes time and experience

there are hunderds of tiny little things that just make it a bit better, but it is hard to list them all...

if you hold down the 'alt' key, you can make vertical selections.

Have had a browse and will aim to load the 'snippets' function with lots of code I've done or found.

A handy function I've found though is the 'Edit box properties' feature. Click in the CSS for a <div> and edit with a rather useful pictorial guide to box properties above.
