Let's be clear here.  I'm not bashing, I want to be able to work 
efficiently my way and so far Eclipse is getting in the way.  I'm not a 
fan of behavior modification for the masses.  I am pointing out features 
that I think are missing and that I deem necessary for me to work.  
Please show me where these features are included in CFE and I will be happy.

<snip from Brian K.>There is almost nothing in Eclipse that cannot be 
customized to a keyboard shortcut. The list of commands that can be 
mapped to keyboard shortcuts is gigantic. I think you are looking in the 
wrong place. </snip>

I'm looking in the the only place to modify keyboard shortcuts.  The 
list of CF commands that can be mapped is short.  Maybe you should 
install HomeSite again (just for fun) and look at all the options that 
can be customized for keyboard control.  It would be nice if CFEclipse 
would add the equivalent functionality.  Thank you for the tip on 
indenting and un-indenting blocks of code.  I'm using it already.

*Missing actions: (That I know of so far)*
1. The lack of being able to assign a keyboard shortcut to each snippet 
is still an issue.
2. The fact that you can't select text then use a keyboard shortcut to 
have a snippet wrap around your selected text is till an issue.  (And 
yes I  know about the new features in snippets.  They are nice, but at 
the expense of loosing other just as useful features.)
3. Select Full Tag.  I use this in HS/CFS all the time.  Can this be 
done in CFE with a keyboard shortcut?
4. Extended Find/Replace.  I can seem to find a way to do this at all.
5. Thanks to Marjolein Katsma, HS/CFS had full featured Tag Editors and 
Help Documents that covered all the attributes of every tag including 
identifying items that were W3C complaint and IE or NS only.  The tag 
editors and Dictionary view are not even near complete in CFE.
6. ctrl+< inserted <>  and ctrl+> inserted </>
7. The ability to create my own tag editors and tag/function insight.  
Can that be done?
8. The limited help in the Dictionary View is a problem.  I do not even 
try to remember every attribute to every function in CF.  I know the 
ones I use regularly and the rest I look up when needed.  I do make a 
point on knowing what functions exist so I know what is built into CF 
before I try to re-invent the wheel.
9. In HS/CFS we could write Javascript or VBscript action that could be 
executed in HS/CFS itself and access the HS/CFS API layer.  Many people 
wrote some great new functions that extended HS/CFS to great new 
levels.  Can anything like this be done in Eclipse with out actually 
being a plug in creator.  One example was a javascript extension to 
HS/CFS that would let you delete and entire tag including it's end tag 
with out affecting it's contents.
10. The ability to defined which tags have tag completion and to setup 
tag complete and tag insight for custom tags.

and the list can continue.

Thank you,
