CFEclipse Tip
Update: I've now added a video showing how to do split pane editing in CFEclipse (MPEG, 6.5 MB). The video is very compressed, to save download times (yes, there are still a few folks out there on dial-up).
One thing that HomeSite users often miss when they try CFEclipse is split pane editor windows (If you've been living under a rock, CFEclipse is an advanced ColdFusion IDE). They like being able to edit the same file from two different locations, with a split pane view of both. I always tell such folks that it's possible to do this. Just right click the suspect editor tab, and click 'New Editor'. This gives you a duplicate copy of the page you were editing in a new editor. You can then drag this down into the editor window, either to one side or to the bottom and it will create a split pane view. When you're done, just close the second editor (or minimize it if you'll need it later).
Something I found out today is that you can also duplicate the current editor by clicking Window->New Editor.

Say, think you could put a screenshot up, perhaps with some red circles around the different areas you're referring to or something like that? I use Eclipse about half the time (maybe I'm partially advanced, I dunno), but not enough to be intimately familiar with the names of the different areas. I just know where to click to do what I need to do right now. But with a PICTURE...THEN I'd be cooking with gas!
Thanks.

Doug,
Instead of a screenshot, I posted a video. The link's now up in the post.
I just got finished moving my site to a new host. Lola made a couple of comments on my old host, and I can't seem to get them over here. Sorry Lola! I didn't delete them, there just over on another database, and it's too late in the day for me to mess with it more.
Anyway, Lola is also on a Mac, and she said she was able to get the video to play in mplayer and Real Player. I'm no video expert, but I do know I wanted to compress it. This is the best I could come up with.
