Most users tend to overlook these but they work great. Its pretty much just the same as the sippets, just think of the tag itself as your trigger text and use Ctrl + t for the invoke/trigger combination. So, to generate a loop it would go like this: type in '<cfloop' then hit Ctrl + t The dialogs are very helpful for new coders and double as time savers as well - plus, you don't have to define anything. All of the coldfusion tags are taken care of for you right out of the box. Snippets are more useful for complex/redundant things. If thought out and used properly, they definitely should find their way into your tool belt. So don't forget about them. Now if only your snippets would tie in to the editors auto-complete feature and work more like they should... like they do when in the Java perspective?

Of course as you mentioned it's all good now as they're in! Thanks for the comment Hi leinad,

This can be accomplished by simply pressing ctrl - shift - A for abort or crtl - shift - D for dump, within cfeclipse.
