Try Ctrl S to save your documents - better than going through the menu File>Save.

The help is awful. I want to be able to have my cursor on a cf tag, hit F1, and be given help on that command. DWMX doesn't do this. It puts you into a generic document folder and you have to navigate to the particular command that you want. There's no Save button on the desktop. When I want to save a document, I have to go Files/Save, not just hit the save button that Studio had. Ctrl-3 should put ## around what's highlighted, not make it <h3> like DWMX does. Many more keyboard short cuts that Studio had that were immensely useful for CF code are gone. The file list mixes files and folders into one confusing box rather than separating them into a folders pane and a files pane. More unnecessary confusion! Sites!!! wtf! I don't want to access my files via a 'site' setting, I just want to get to the files!! Saving files to the server and file locking. If you modify a file on the server and save it, then someone else modifies that file and saves it (all serial actions, with no overlap) then you open it up again (even after shutting down DWMX and restarting it) it gives you the same freaking file that you edited earlier, not the file on the server that was modified later by someone else, because it now insists on saving all files locally on your HDD (even if you tell it to deal directly with the server files), and all it does is just checks to see if you have the file locally and servers you up that as if it just got it off the server! Collaborative work without some form of CSV type setup is just not possible! Its EVIL I tell ya!!! EVIL, and _no_ good will come from it!!!! You mark my words!!!! </rant> I'm trying to use DWMX. I'm forcing myself to use it, and I don't have Studio installed, so I can't cheat. I hoped it would grow on my, but its not. I know I can probably modify setting to change some of these things, but then why should I have to spend time to make the provided tool to edit CF capable of adequately edit CF. It should do all this correctly out of the box, not after spending a week tinkering with it. (maybe the rant tags should be around the above paragraph too?!) That's my 2cents worth.
