Plugin version 2.53

In this version lots of bugs were fixed. Many thanks to Dave Merrill and Jamie Krug.

We now support new (ColdFusion 9) syntax for components and functions definition. All bugs reports are welcome. The feature is new, so it might be buggy.

For those functions, which we can resolve, parameter info is available. Click Ctrl + P when inside braces and a hint will emerge. Have a look at a screenshot:


Might be not all of you are aware of such a useful feature as Live Templates. Saying shortly, you may configure shortcut for predefined structure insertion. To set them go to Settings/IDE Settings/Live Templates/cfml.

For instance, you want quickly define a function with a tag. Then just add a live template and customize it as shown on the screenshot



To invoke it, type cff (the value of 'Abbreviation' field) and press Tab, cffunction tag with attributes will appear. By pressing Tab you may move through attributes' values and type your values, instead of defaults.

Believe me - it worth trying!
