Working with any program, I like to try and learn some keyboard shortcuts for ease of use.
Here are some of the keyboard shortcuts I use the most, to help when programming in CFEclipse:
| Ctrl+3 | Pound marks ## |
| Ctrl+' | Single Quotes '' |
| Ctrl+Shift+" | Double Quotes "" |
| Ctrl+Shift+M | Coldfusion Comment <!--- ---> |
| Ctrl+Shift+C | Context sensitive Comment /* */, <!-- --> |
| Ctrl+Shift+D | Cfdump <cfdump var="##"> |
| Ctrl+Shift+O | Output tags <cfoutput></cfoutput> |
| Ctrl+Shift+P | Paragraph tags <p></p> |
| Ctrl+L | Go to line number |
Note that all of these (but the last one, of course) can be inserted plain, with nothing between them - or you can highlight an area in your code then enter the keyboard shortcut to surround the highlighted area with the applicable tag/marks.
Many other "standard" keyboard shortcuts are present in CFEclipse also, like: undo (Ctrl+Z), redo (Ctrl+Y), Copy (Ctrl+C), bold (Ctrl+B), italics (Ctrl+I), etc. You can check out the CFEclipse wiki for a more substantial list of the keyboard shortcuts available.
