If you've been following my blog, you might have seen that I've started using this wonderful editor called Coda for most of the development work I do. It has very nice built-in support for ColdFusion and given that it is a native Mac app, the interface is beautiful. And it has a few really nice features like built-in FTP and Clips (snippets).

Over the last month or so, I've built up quite a few clips, which are just snippets in CFEclipse-speak, for ColdFusion, MXUnit and ShadoCMS. Obviously I'm adding more as I find time or as I need, but here is what I have managed to put together till now.

After my last post on FTP in Eclipse, I started using Coda as an alternative editor for CFML. Must say that it is one of the nicest applications that I've used (sorry Windows users, it is a Mac only app).

It support CFML code completion, snippets and syntax highlighting. Very quick and easy to use.

In fact, I switched all text files to open in Coda. It is quite extensible and provides quite a few language modules for syntax highlighting and code completion.

Since I'm usually twiddling with Apache conf files, I found an Apache language module (http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/modes.html). However, that module is quite old... it was last updated in 2004.

So, I decided to spend a little time and bring it up to date. It now supports all directives and keywords up to Apache 2.2.
