+Editor shortcut (e) will now navigate to your most recently viewed template
+
+Hitting `e` while your server is running (`shopify theme dev`) will now open
+the theme editor in the Admin to the most recently rendered template that you
+viewed in the browser (e.g. if you have multiple tabs open it will use the
+one that was rendered most recently).
