Common css class for all items

[hamsterbacke23]

Especially in menus it's really hard to get to the character elements with only "outside" selectors,
so a common selector for all would be great...

This isn't bad and I could see having the klass there as helpful. But what do you mean by "hard"? Do you have a CodePen example?

I can think of a couple of ways to do this without adding to the plugin:

.menuItem > span { }
[class^=char] { }

Hi, thanks for your reply...

Usually I try to avoid wildcard or regex selectors because I'm not sure about their performance, and they are not very explicit, although I think it's not a big issue most of the time.

What I mean by "hard" is when I have nested structures like menus and I want to target only second level spans, but not third level spans ...

I want to write something like this:
.level-2 .char { ... }
.level-3 .char { ... }

and not something like
.level-2 > li > a > span
.level-2 > li > .level-3 li a span { ... }

Of course that is all possible, just not very convenient...
