Type the snippet shortcode and then press Tab to complete the snippet.
The snippets are listed below in alphabetical order. The '$1' indicates the initial position of the caret/s. Some snippets have been set up so that pressing Tab jumps the caret/s to the next predefined spot. It's a little tricky to explain, but any snippet that has a $1/$2/$3/etc. uses this technique.
Feel free to play with, alter, expand, or ruin these snippets as you please. I only ask that if you come up with an incredibly handy snippet, or simply one that I have missed, that you let me know (via email, Twitter, GitHub or as a comment on the original [blog post][1]) so that I can improve these for everybody. Thanks! [1]: http://joshnh.com/2012/02/a-collection-of-css-snippets-for-sublime-text-2/ "The original blog post."

That's a backtick in case you were unsure (it's on the same key as the tilde (~), directly above Tab).

You don't need to declare a value for the line-height unless using pixels (1.5 is the same as 1.5em or 150%).
font: ${1:normal|italic|oblique} ${2:normal|small-caps} ${3:normal|bold|bolder|lighter} ${4:1em}/${5:1.5} ${6:sans-serif}
gra It's a good idea to define a background color, and use alpha transparency with your gradients, that way you only need to alter a single value if you want to change the color of the background.
background-image: linear-gradient($1)
hid
overflow: hidden
hov
It is good (for accessibility reasons) to use the focus pseudo-class alongside the hover pseudo-class when defining styles for anchors, there is no need for :focus in most other cases.

My preference over rgba(), and I have written [an article][2] explaining why [2]: http://joshnh.com/2011/09/hsla-are-you-using-it-here-is-why-i-think-you-should-be/ "HSLA and You"

Comment out the whitespace between elements in your markup if you need pixel perfect alignment (although pixel perfection is not realistic).

key
This snippet makes good use of Sublime Text 2's multiple selection capabilites. If you lose the multiple selection, a quick way to regain it is to select 'keyframes', hit CMD+D (CTRL+D on Windows) four times, and then use the arrow keys to navigate. Continuing to tab will reduce the caret back down to a single selection, but you can also force it using ESC.

100% { $3 }

When designing with a focus on responsiveness, using min-width is recommended (it means that smaller devices, such as mobiles, aren't applying styles that aren't being used).

transform
This is too complex to write out all options.

transition
Transition shorthand: transition-propery transition-duration transition-timing-function transition-delay. The default values are: all 0 ease 0, this means that if you want to apply a transition to all properties, using the ease timing-function, you only need to declare the duration (e.g. transition: .5s).
transition: ${1:all} ${2:.25s} ${3:ease|linear|ease-in|ease-out|ease-in-out|cubic-bezier(<number>,<number>,<number>,<number>)}
upp
text-transform: uppercase
wra
For legacy reasons, UAs may also accept ‘word-wrap’ as an alternate name for the 'overflow-wrap' property. However this syntax non-conforming in author style sheets. (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#overflow-wrap)
overflow-wrap: break-word
word-wrap: break-word
