Nice readme, but he meant autocomplete as in finishing a BLOCK of code. Not tag insights.
Studio had a custom autocomplete feature where you could tell it anytime you typed say... <cfquery then a space, it would finish the tag with Name="" datasource="#request.maindsn#"> </cfquery> The WHOLE block of code in the time I took you to type 8 or 9 characters. If that wasn't nice enough, it even let you specify where your cursor would end up when the code block was added. That's just one of my old examples. You can have ANY text (any length) be a trigger for a huge code block. I could type "A long" and it could print the entire Star Wars epilogue if that's what I set it up to do. It was an extremely nice feature and although Dream Weaver has a lot of nice options. None of them apparently do the exact same thing. The closest thing I can get is the "snippets" with a hotkey. Have you looked at those yet Andrew? I definitely miss the old feature and would LOVE to see it added, but for now I suppose snippets will do. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 8:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Another "Is this Homesite feature in DW?" question Yes it's there in DWMX. It has autocomplete and code hinting. When you start a tag, it gives a drop down list of all the attributes related to that tag. There's a delay you can set, so it will wait for a second or two if you find this annoying. That way all the tags and functions you're familiar with, it wont get in the way, but for a tag you dont use very often, just wait a second and it'll give you some suggestions with the attributes you need. Same with the values for attributes. For example when you're doing CFFUNCTION, you get the drop down for the attributes, and when you type "a", it jumps to Access, and after you type the equals, you get a drop down of "public", "private", "package" and "remote". Make a spelling error in a tag, and you dont get it coloured correctly, so it immediately tells you. For example I can never remember whether it's CFARGUMENTS or CFARGUMENT and the colour coding tells me because I only get the brown cftag colour when it's correct. Miss a closing quote on an attribute and everything you type after that is in the wrong colour. Tells you straight away you have a syntax error. I think DWMX is excellent in this regard.
