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+3Pound marks ##
Ctrl+'Single Quotes ''
Ctrl+Shift+"Double Quotes ""
Ctrl+Shift+MColdfusion Comment <!--- --->
Ctrl+Shift+CContext sensitive Comment /* */, <!-- -->
Ctrl+Shift+DCfdump <cfdump var="##">
Ctrl+Shift+OOutput tags <cfoutput></cfoutput>
Ctrl+Shift+PParagraph tags <p></p>
Ctrl+LGo 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.
