Not sure what editors your using but as soon as I type <? my editor (eclipse) populates with <?php ?> leaving my cursor ready to enter php commands. I can't remember the last time I worried about typing to many chars. Other than posts and email! ;) I'm sure that some may complain that eclipse is a bloated IDE for simple php editing, and they may be right. But I spend most of my day in code (php, java, html, css, javascript, etc) and only launch the app once a day at most, if for some reason I shut my machine down.
