>- see footer for list info -< Seeing as u made a comment on the word wrap, I'll just point out why I find it useful. When I have to edit pages where lines are really long, 2 or more screens wide, it is a royal pain scrolling left and right as well as up and down and you can often totally miss a bit of code you are looking for. So turning on word wrap to get all your cod eon the page is useful for that purpose, even if it is messy. I will certainly persevere with it a bit longer, but some things I really have trouble living without, like the tag editor and right click insert. Surely No-one can remember every possible tag and function and all their attributes, especially seeing as some tags have tons of attributes, and a lot of them are rarely used. So those two features make life a lot easier.
E.G. I have a list, I want to find an item in the list, I wonder if there is a function to do that. Right click, insert expression, pull up a list of all the functions, look down the list, Ah Listfind(), that looks like the one I need. I am still using functions I have never used before even now. With CFEclipse, I will either have to refer to docs more often, which take a LOT longer, or memorise all tags, functions and attributes.
