CFEclipse and Eclipse Tips and Tricks
CFEclipseI've been working off, and mostly on, with CFEclipse over the past two years. In the last week or so, though, I've found three cool new (to me) shortcuts and thought I would share them.
"Firefox like Find"
In the Find dialog click the Incremental option and Eclipse will do a Firefox like Find, searching as you type, of the currently open file. I love the way Firefox searches and the added bonus in CFEclipse is that it will expand collapsed code as this screen shot shows:
Removing Comments
Adding comments in CFEclipse is easy, either (Ctrl/Command-Shift-M) or click on the comment icon, and if text is selected the comment will surround it. Removing comments can be done the same way, either select the whole comment or place the cursor to the left of the open comment and either (Ctrl/Command-Shift-M) or click on the comment icon.
Go to Line
Ctrl/Command-L brings up a dialog asking which line you would like to go to. Very useful when debugging an error and you know the line the error occurs on.
What keyboard shortcuts do you use?

This allows you to open a referenced file by a keyboard shortcut (i.e., CTRL+ALT+R), convert HTML code to escaped characters and reverse, under_scores to CamelCase and reverse, and other useful actions.
For me, it's functionality that I find makes working within CF/Eclipse much faster and more convenient.
I also use (on Windows now, but my new job starts next week, and I'll be on a MacBook Pro, woo-hoo):
Ctrl-H: search Workspace or Working set
Ctrl-Shift-O: cfoutput
Ctrl-Shift-A: cfabort
Ctrl-Shift-D: cfdump
Ctrl-W: close file
Ctrl-Shift-W: close all files
Ctrl-3: surround with pound signs
@Aaron: Congrats on the new job. And nice on a Mac, are you on a Mac at home?
I've re-mapped Ctrl-Shift-A to 'Maximize Active View or Editor' which is a preference I have going back to my CF Studio days to hide the file explorer view.
