Thanks to @Ivanico on Twitter for pointing out today’s ToTD. With the cursor in a text block, you can type Control+[1-6]/Command+[1-6] to apply a heading (h1-6) tag to the block. And, with the cursor in a heading, you can type Control+0 (zero)/Command+0 to change the heading to a paragraph.

Shortcut: Add HTML tag around selected text

I just picked up this Dreamweaver tip from @tomwittlin on Twitter:

To any tag around a bit of text or code simply make a selection and type Ctrl+T (Cmd+T Mac). Double-click on the tag you want to wrap around the selection and type Enter.

It also works with not text selected if you want to add a break, hairline rule, etc. at teh selection point.
