I do a lot of work with jQuery and CSS by creating DOM objects and selectors in jQuery. It would be sweet if Brackets could recognize the CSS class or id tag from jQuery and be able to pull down the quick edit function.

@passa763 This should work if you have a local copy of the jQuery .css file (i.e. it won't work with only a link to remote file). Does that work?

@passa763 If I understand correctly, you're thinking of JS code like this:

$(".results-list li").addClass("selected")

And you want to put your cursor on the string inside the $(), hit Quick Edit, and see matching CSS code?

@peterflynn no. When I create an object like
$("body").append($("<div id='foo'>"))

If I could Quick Edit with the cursor in the id tag foo
