CSS

Emmet works surprisingly well with css as well.

  • f:l
float: left;

You can also use any options n/r/l

  • pos:a­
position: absolute;

Also use any options, pos:a/r/f

  • d:n/b­/f/­i/ib

d:ib

display: inline-block;
  • You can use m for margin and p for padding followed by direction

mr -> margin-right

pr -> padding-right

  • @f will result in
@font-face {
  font-family:;
  src:url();
}

You can also use these shorthands
