CFEclipse Snippets and CTRL+T
October 16, 2008 by Jim · Leave a Comment
When I moved to MyEclipse I once again toasted my snippets. So now I’m trying to do a bit of digging and condense some of the more popular ones on the snippets page on the CFEclipse wiki.
I’m going over a lot of old blog posts and I found this gem I was unaware of (or more likely forgot) about using CTRL+T.
There are tag help dialogs for creating most any coldfusion tag. Most users tend to overlook these but they work great. Its pretty much just the same as the sippets, just think of the tag itself as your trigger text and use Ctrl+T for the invoke/trigger combination.
So, to generate a loop it would go like this: type in ‘<cfloop’ then hit Ctrl+T
The dialogs are very helpful for new coders and double as time savers as well – plus, you don’t have to define anything. All of the coldfusion tags are taken care of for you right out of the box.
I found this on Michael Sharman’s blog – Pope left the comment.
CTRL+T Dialog
There are so many of these useful shortcuts in CFEclipse. I really need to force myself to write them down and then get into the habit of actually using them!
Also if you have some useful snippets – please consider adding them to the snippets page on the CFEclipse wiki!
