CFEclipse Keyboard Shortcuts

CFEclipse is a community project that builds on the open-source Eclipse framework to deliver expert, code-centric developers a new option for ColdFusion development. CFEclipse provides Eclipse with an outline view, a CFC (ColdFusion component) view, code completion (code hinting), syntax highlighting text editors for CFML and CFC files, and many more ColdFusion-specific features.

Eclipse can be downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org and CFEclipse from http://www.cfeclipse.org.

One thing CFEclipse does not have is WYSIWYG ability. Its complete focus is on writing ColdFusion code (so-called hand coding) and building tools that help you write code. If you do a lot of visual or page-layout development—for instance, if you rely heavily on drag-and-drop tools, wizards, or the Design view in Macromedia Dreamweaver—CFEclipse may not be the tool for you.

However, to make your life easier when coding, below is a list of keyboard shortcuts that make common tasks available in a couple of keystrokes:
