I've been attempting to beef up my .vimrc. The goal is as always to simplify my life somewhat. I'm curious what types of shortcuts, macros, and other magic people have in their vimrc's. If you *gasp* use another editor perhaps you can contribute other editor-specific tips for other users out there too. Here are some of the things I've added so far:

iab _cb ############################################################<C
+R>
iab _cl #                                                          #<C
+R>
iab _ds <C-R>=strftime("%Y-%b-%d")<CR>
iab _fn <C-R>=bufname("%")<CR>
iab _lm  <C-R>="Last Modified: " . strftime("%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y") <C
+R>
iab _href <a href="" alt=""></a>
iab _img <img src="">
iab <TABLE> <TABLE></TABLE>
iab <TR> <TR></TR>
iab <TD> <TD></TD>

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
