FASTyle is an all-in-one suite which dramatically improves and speeds up assets management, including templates, stylesheets and javascripts. FASTyle is equipped with a powerful editor and asset manager, giving you fine control over theming development in a single browser tab.

FASTyle integrates directly within the themes and templates modules. Hence, it will open straight away when you click on a theme or template set.
FASTyle is built with speed in mind; every action is routed to the server with AJAX technology, accounting for its unique real-time feel. Assets are listed in a convenient collapsible sidebar, and once loaded they are added to a tabbed top bar where you can easily switch between opened ones, resembling a standard browser experience. Get, save, add and delete assets anytime and in real-time.

use the CTRL/CMD+S combination to quickly save assets.
Struggling to find that particular template you want to edit? Fear no more. FASTyle displays templates semantically, with a parent > child structure you'll love. And the search bar is always there to help you anytime you need.

Compare assets to their original versions and edit them as you type. Templates and stylesheets are compared against the local MyBB Master Style versions, while JavaScripts are compared remotely by fetching the original asset from GitHub synchronized with your current MyBB version.

When you perform sensitive actions, like closing unsaved assets or deleting them, you are prompted with a confirmation dialog. Quick mode allows you to bypass dialogs and approve your actions automatically, like a pro.
By enabling quick mode you acknowledge that you can permanently delete assets without any confirmation dialog. Templates and stylesheets are saved in the database, so you *might* have automatic backups generated by MyBB's tasks system; JavaScripts are saved in the filesystem and are more prone to data loss.

FASTyle remembers your editor tuning, including previously opened tabs and the last one being worked on, quick mode and full paging, and sets them automatically once you refresh the page or come back days after. FASTyle's memory is stored in your browser cache and it's theme's specific, so you can work on different themes without letting their own setups interfere with each other.
Drag and drop stylesheets and reorder them wherever you want. In the current version, stylesheets' order is saved automatically after 4 seconds from the last drop.
Aka: full paging. It allows you to work better by having zero distractions over your coding sessions.
A custom and handmade theme is included to rest your eyes in delight while managing your beloved MyBB board.
FASTyle adds the popular Sublime Text keymap to CodeMirror: here you can find the complete list of keyboard shortcuts you can use to improve your template and stylesheet management.
A revamped find and replace module for CodeMirror is included. This is one of the hottest features included in FASTyle, as CodeMirror's standard functionality lacks friendliness and it's one of the biggest bottlenecks faced by its users. FASTyle's version works much like any advanced code editor for OSes, persisting on screen after the search, highlighting matches properly and in real-time.

The latest version lets you quickly jump between templates while you edit themHmm, how does this work exactly, like how do i use it? Couldn't figure out.
Sure. When you edit a template you should see a column row named Template set, FASTyle adds a row named Quick jump merely after it filled with the template list of the theme you are currently working on. Once you select a template, it automatically redirects you to that template.
Someone pointed out that since the template list is numerically consistent, it's quite difficult to search for a specific template. Unfortunately I developed the plugin using my ACP theme Whisper, which features user-friendly selectboxes with a search functionality. I will add a similar feature in a future update for FASTyle; in the meantime, I would suggest you to use Whisper.

Hm, there is no Quick Jump for me shown, when i select another template in the template set nothing happens.
FASTyle 1.4 is out
To see the changelog, see FASTyle development. Special thanks to @Brenda and @Eldenroot for spotting bugs and suggesting improvements.
@Shade - thank you!
I can confirm that Randomly not saving templates is still here - but it is rare (almost 100x time less then in v1.3 but it happens).
When you save the template it looks perfect, but when you hit F5 changes are lost (reverted back to previous version). I cannot reproduce steps why it happens but it happens.
EDIT:
- Remember template groups open when coming back to the template list [Ready]
--- How to make it working? Still closed after I click on ave and return to listing

Can you provide a test account to your board? Since it runs on a JavaScript function, custom themes with custom JS may break its routines.
Sad to know that the issue is still there – I haven't encountered one missing save till I have installed so far. I can't think of anything breaking its logic as I checked it hundreds times and it looks good to me.
