A) Documentation: I have a documentation "header" I drop into the top of every page. It includes many standard elements such as my name and company, plus a lot of page specific information that I fill in such as a description of the template, the name of the template, the date, etc..

You could always create a blank .cfm template file that has all of that and DWMX will create new files that contain your standard header... (haven't tried that but I'm sure it would be easy - it's what I've done in most other editors).


B) Comments. It is nice to be able to comment out sections of code just by highlighting and hitting a keystroke.

This is a single click operation in DWMX (using the CFML Basic tab of the Insert toolbar).

I turn off most of the toolbars to regain more page real estate.



C) Sample queries that grab the ID of a recently inserted item

Hmm, is this a SQL Server specific thing? (I see @@identity mentioned a lot but have never used it).

Yes!



D) A sample cfapplication tag. Just pop it in fill in the blanks.

Interesting... But for a tag that's used just a few times (in comparison to everything else), how much of a saving is it? This line:


<cfapplication clientmanagement="yes" sessionmanagement="yes" setclientcookies="yes">

was 25 key presses including up/down/left/right arrow key actions (and no mouse clicks). How many keys / clicks is it in CFS using a snippet?

In most cases, I expect people to add a name attribute to the cfapplication tag, so I use the tag just like the sample querie. Insert it and fill in the blanks.
In your case above, it would be 1 keystroke for inserting the tag, and another keystroke to delete the un-needed attributes. (Highlight with mouse, delete)
