Looking for ways to improve CFEclipse?

Updated December 6, 2023, First Published January 7, 2006 by Pete Freitag

If anyone is looking for some new features to implement in CFEclipse, I would suggest checking out TextMate. The editor is pretty popular among developers on the Mac, and Ruby on Rails folks.

If you don't have a mac you can checkout some of the screencasts for TextMate.

I picked up two features that I think would be cool to see in CFEclipse:

• Hitting tab (or Esc perhaps) when inside a tag will tab through each attribute and value, so you can easily change them. Check out the Symfoni screencast for an example of this.
• When you change a tag name it also changes the closing tag. So if you want to change a h1 to a h2 you just change the 1 to a 2 in the start tag, and it fixes the end tag.

Please discuss any other ideas in the comments so we can pass this along to the cfeclipse team.
