Looking for ways to improve CFEclipse?

If anyone is looking for some new features to implement in CFEclipse, I would suggest checking out TextMate. The editor is pretty popular among developers on the Mac, and Ruby on Rails folks.
If you don't have a mac you can checkout some of the screencasts for TextMate.
I picked up two features that I think would be cool to see in CFEclipse:
- Hitting tab (or Esc perhaps) when inside a tag will tab through each attribute and value, so you can easily change them. Check out the Symfoni screencast for an example of this.
- When you change a tag name it also changes the closing tag. So if you want to change a
h1
to ah2
you just change the1
to a2
in the start tag, and it fixes the end tag.
Please discuss any other ideas in the comments so we can pass this along to the cfeclipse team.

The Fixinator Code Security Scanner for ColdFusion & CFML is an easy to use security tool that every CF developer can use. It can also easily integrate into CI for automatic scanning on every commit.

Thanks for that.
