IDE Powers Extension

Get automatically ([{matching brackets}]) and \"quotes\" just like it works in Sublime Text or Atom.

There are a few extra hotkeys too:

- Cut line
- Delete line
- New line

(on Mac ctrl is the command key)

There are definitely still kinks to work out so make sure you report bugs :)
