Very sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

For surrounding text, unless you want to use the snippet’s advanced features, you could use only AutoHotkey for this. For example, the AHK script below will surround a string of text in parenthesis if you highlight it and press control 9
^9::Send {CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}({CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP})

Unfortunately the issue with trigger text adjacent to another character is an Eclipse weakness. I’ve run into that problem myself and haven’t come up with a good solution yet.

I got this set up and it works well, but with some pretty serious exceptions:

- I can’t get it to do snippets that surround selected text. The hot key text will just replace any selected text, and then the snippet won’t fire.

- I can’t get it to fire if the cursor is next to a character; it will only work and fire on the hotkey text if it’s between two spaces or on its own line.

How do you just work around this problems? Or do you just live with them and only use hotkeys for other snippets?

Thanks for the heads-up on AHK in any case; it’s very cool.

I’m planning on moving to the new Coldfusion builder, but because it’s Eclipse based, it should all work the same.

Any further luck or advice on this? Does it still work and are you still using it? If so, I’ll take the plunge and see if it does what I need.

Wow do I wish CFE / Eclipse allowed fully customizable shortcut keys.
