This does sometimes get flaky. Try CTRL-Space after. 3. You can ctrl-z, but then you can't ctrl-shift-z back to where you were > (ctrl-shift-z opens a color pallette)? CTRL-Y is "redo". And pretty much ALL keyboard shortcuts in Eclipse are changeable. And for super-duper undo/redo on steroids, right click on a file in the navigator and check out "compare with -> local history..." 4. ctrl-F6 to toggle between open documents can't be done with one hand (not > my hands anyways) Again, you can remap the shortcuts. "Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Keys". > 3. What's next in this adventure? What other plugins should I try? Definitely take some time and check out what Eclipse offers natively - things like working sets can be handy, there are a ton of customization options, etc. For plugins, you definitely want the Adobe ColdFusion plugins, which includes RDS file and database support, a query builder, the full CF documentation in Eclipse Help format, and some other handy little bits. Unfortunately, getting them is a bit of an annoying process, as they are currently only distributed as part of Flex Builder. Just download and install the trial from Adobe.com, dig around for the ColdFusion plugins zip file in the install directory, and follow the included install instructions. Also, check out the Mylar project. http://www.eclipse.org/mylar/ - in particular, take the time to watch the Webinar: http://www.eclipse.org/mylar/start.php - it's essentially a task driven development "system", that is hard to explain in a couple of sentences, but is, in my opinion, startlingly brilliant once you "get" it. A couple more handy plug-ins: 1. Aptana (www.aptana.com) for good HTML, CSS and JavaScript support, as well as a very good file browser with FTP and SFTP support, including file synchronization. 2. JSEclipse, (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/jseclipse/) which I think is a better JavaScript editor than Aptana's, if only because you can highlight a portion of JS code in an HTML of CFM file, and select "open in JSEclipse" giving you all of the handy JS completion, etc. stuff, and keeping it synched up with the original file. 3. QuantumDB (http://quantum.sourceforge.net/), a nice little database browser, SQL editor plugin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
