inset
A modern shorthand property that sets the distance between an element and its parent container. It's much faster than writing out 'top', 'right', 'bottom', and 'left' separately.
Quick example
.full-screen-overlay {
position: fixed;
inset: 0;
/* stretches the element to fill the entire screen */
