Key bindings

Some packages will override key bindings. If you have problems with a specific key shortcut, you can add it to your User - Key Bindings file Preferences > Key Bindings - User

You can also use sublime.log_commands(True) in the console (ctrl+~) to output key presses and their corresponding command to the console pane.

`⇧`+`#` `#SELECTION#`	`Ctrl`+`⇧`+`O` `<cfoutput>SELECTION</cfoutput>`
`Ctrl`+`⇧`+`#` `<cfoutput>#SELECTION#</cfoutput>`	`Ctrl`+`Alt`+`A` `<cfabort />`
`Ctrl`+`Alt`+`D` `<cfdump var="#SELECTION#">`	`Alt`+`⇧`+`R` `<cfscript>SELECTION</cfscript>`
`Ctrl`+`⇧`+`/` `block comment (cfml/cfscript)`	`Ctrl`+`Alt`+`⇧`+`/` `javadoc comment`
`Alt`+`↩` `terminates statement (cfscript)`	`Ctrl`+`⇧`+`=` `<cfset SELECTION />`

Many more key bindings are available via Sublime Preferences > Key Bindings - Default

Completions and Snippets

Although, this package includes CFScript completions (.sublime-completions) and ColdFusion tag completions (API-injected), it's recommended that you create your own custom snippets using code that fits your particular coding style. To create a new snippet select Tools > New Snippet... from the Sublime Text menu. Use <scope>text.html.cfm - string</scope> for ColdFusion markup snippets and <scope>source.cfscript - string</scope> for CFScript snippets.

Completions in order of priority are:

Snippets
API-injected completions
.sublime-completions files
words in the current buffer

The following list contains snippets repositories made available by ColdFusion community members:

To install snippets just put the .sublime-snippet files in your Packages/User folder or sub-folder (to get to your Packages/User folder select Preferences > Browse Packages... from the Sublime Text 2 menu).

Custom Themes

The following themes optimized for ColdFusion are made available by ColdFusion community members and can be installed with Package Control (http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/community)

https://github.com/Siddley/Enhanced.HTML.CFML

If you'd like to customize your favorite theme for ColdFusion support, you can use the entity.name.tag.cf scope in your tmTheme file. For example the following definition will use the color #C87551 for all ColdFusion tags:

<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Meta</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>meta.tag.block.cf, meta.tag.inline.cf</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>fontStyle</key>
        <string></string>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#C87551</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
<!-- this will color ColdFusion tag name -->
<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Entity</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>entity.name.tag.cf</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>fontStyle</key>
        <string></string>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#C87551</string>
    </dict>
</dict>

You can use Ctrl+Alt+⇧+P to get the scope name at the cursor position for more theme customizing .
