Inserting Code
ColdFusion Studio coding tools support a range of writing styles, from typing to
point-and-click, and you can set the level of support you want: for repetitive tasks,
you can use its productivity tools to enter repeated code blocks and required text;
when coding tags that you are not familiar with, you can display pop-up tips and lists
of language elements.
Note
Some operations, such as browsing to files in tag editors and creating an image map ,
refer to the current directory. For information about how ColdFusion Studio
determines the current directory with two Files tabs, see
“About the Files Tabs” on
page 44 .
