Snippets
This extension adds several nifty snippets that can help with remembering color/attribute codes and
keywords. As with any snippet, simply write the prefix and press tab to convert it to the value.
Colors can be prefixed with b to make it a background color instead.
$1 indicates where the cursor ends up after pressing tab.
