Inserting Code
The coding tools in ColdFusion Studio support the full range of writing styles, from
typing to point-and-click, and you can set the level of support you want. For repetitive
chores, you can use its productivity to quickly enter common code blocks and required
text. If you're working with less familiar syntax, you can get pop-up tips and selectable
lists of language elements.
Inserting tags from the QuickBar
The QuickBar is a customizable development toolbar. When you click on a QuickBar
toolbutton, it either inserts the code directly into the document or opens a tag editor
for that specific tag if it supports attributes or other syntax elements.
You can display toolbars for HTML, CFML, JSP , scripting, and ASP code in addition to
toolbars for ColdFusion Studio tools and standard Windows commands.
