Also a good post. Editplus makes it even easier than what you've got Ken. It comes with autocomplete files.
I type: "<cfquery " and I get a full cfquery block. I type "SELECT " and I get a full SELECT statement. I do the same thing with "<table ", "<cfloop " and more. It's a HGUE timesaver and I hope that someone can tell me if DW does the same thing. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

I tried and tried and tried not to get sucked into this thread, but it's useless! I use Homesite+. I love CFEclipse, but I just *CAN'T* get away from Homesite+. I've got it, from years of using it, set up so that it's so efficient for me to do my work. The code templates are the greatest things and I can't figure out how to accomplish the same thing (that works as easily and as well) in CFE or DW. For instance, I type sel and hit ctrl+j and the following code magically pops onto my screen: <cfquery name="q" datasource="#request.dsn#"> Select From Where </cfquery> I type function and hit ctrl+j and I get: <cffunction name="" access="public" output="false" hint=""> <cfargument name="" required="" default="" /> <cfset var = /> <cfreturn /> </cffunction> I type component and hit ctrl+j and I get: <cfcomponent displayname="" hint=""> <cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype=""> <!--- do nothing Pseudo constructor ---> <cfreturn this> </cffunction> <cffunction name="" access="public" output="false" hint=""> <cfargument name="" required="" default="" /> <cfscript> var = ""; </cfscript> <cfreturn /> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> switch and ctrl+j gets me: <cfswitch expression=""> <cfcase value=""> </cfcase> <cfcase value=""> </cfcase> <cfdefaultcase> </cfdefaultcase> </cfswitch> OK, so you get the picture; I have tons and tons of these (about 50 or so) that are burned into my memory. Switches, queries, select boxes, loops, common js functions, cfc's, CF functions, if blocks, form skeletons, preformatted div blocks... I just have to type a couple of letters, hit ctrl+j and Bob's your uncle. So when I go and try to work in CFE or DW it seems like it takes me an inordinately long time to get things done. It's so simple in HS+. I haven't ever figured out how to get this sort of thing to work so easily in any other IDE. The other thing I like about HS+ is that I don't have to have a bunch of things defined to use it. I open the program and I open a file and edit it. That's it, no sites or workspaces or any crap like that -- just a file and an editor. HS+, unlike DW, will stay out of my way and let me get my work done instead of constantly behaving like it knows what I should be doing better than I do. Of course, in words that are obviously stolen, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong. --Ferg Dawson, Michael wrote: >I have not run into any issues where DW rewrites my code.
