I also think that is what she means by TAB editing.
Personally, I think that is an awesome feature that should have been
implemented in every HTML editor by now.
I can think of no* reason to put an actual tab character within a tag,
so it makes perfect sense to use a tab to jump between attribute values.
* except for formatting tags across multiple lines.

Teddy,
i think by "TAB editing", Jean is talking about the ability to
use the tab key to jump between regions of code - so you can insert a
snippet of cfml code, say "<cfassociate baseTag="" dataCollection="">"
and then use the tab key to jump into the first attribute value
(baseTag="|"), insert some text, then press tab again to jump into the
second attribute value (dataCollection="|") and insert some text there.
Jean,
whilst it's true that (cf)eclipse does not yet offer this, the
current workaround is to use variables in snippets: say you define a
snippet like this:
<cf_test foo="$${FOO}" bar="$${BAR}">
when you trigger it, eclipse first pops up a little dialog box
to prompt you for the values of FOO and BAR, then inserts the the
snippet with the placeholders (the "$${...}" bits) replaced with your
input.
You can even use default values:
<cf_test foo="$${FOO:BAZ}" bar="$${BAR}">
Or lists of values:
<cf_test foo="$${FOO:BAZ|BOO|BUM}" bar="$${BAR}">
(quite cool - will use a dropdown to select the value, whilst
still allowing you to override.
... and there are a number of default snippet variables that
will be auto magically replaced, e.g; $$DATE, etc
Though i am willing to admit that this is not quite as seamless
as tab editing as done by textmate et al.
Regs,

Jean,

Eclipse.
Eclipse with CFEclipse offers tabbed browsing.

Eclipse has a plugin for the majority of thee languages
as well. Which languages are on your "list?"

Yes, Flash movies currently are not accessible, niether
is Javascript related to AJAX and DHTML.
lastly, people are just trying to help here and offer
advice and not trying to convert you. I say use what you are
comfortable with.
Cheers,
Teddy

Hello Jean,
Eclipse has the benefit of once you get
productive an comfortable (took
me a week of harassing the members of this list)
you can use it as an
IDE for so many languages. I see now why it was
worth the effort, it is
ultimately more efficient to work with both as a
lone developer and as
part of a team. And, as a CF developer, there
will most likely be Flex
in your future, and Flex runs best in Eclipse.
Resistance is Futile.
