I use CFEclipse for most of my projects and heavy lifting but sometimes I find the need to do a quick fix on pages outside the project scope that is easier to accomplish in a simple text editor.
I have googled but can't seem to find an answer so either a link to a download or a link to how to build my own would be awesome. thanks.
Update: Brien Malone's answer below along with charlie arehart's comments are what people should use at this point as nppColdFusion is no longer maintained as of 23 Sept 2011.
Disregard
nppColdFusion is actively maintained
In notepadd ++, go to 'Plugins'> 'Plugin Manager'> 'show plugin manager'. 'Coldfusion Lexer' is listed as available plugin
This question is a few years old now, and unfortunately, the accepted answer involving nppColdFusion is no longer valid because the plug-in doesn't work with NP++ after version 5.x.x and is not being maintained. (It stopped working when Notepad++ switched their plug-in hooking mechanism in version 6.x.x)
The Notepad++ site points to a library of nearly every language highlighter available:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files
ColdFusion (specifically CF9) is listed:
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/commun/userDefinedLang/userDefineLang_CF9.xml
It's not as good as a full plug-in like nppColdFusion, but it is better than pages of black text.
Just a comment about Tony's answer (Aug 22 '14 at 13:00) : he wrote "In notepadd ++, go to 'Plugins'> 'Plugin Manager'> 'show plugin manager'."
However, in ver. 6.8 (maybe since before), there's no "Plugins" menu item on the menu bar. What I had to do is:
1- From the User Defined Language Page
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files
Download the ColdFusion User Defined Language file
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/commun/userDefinedLang/userDefineLang_CF9.xml
Into the Notepad++ Folder
2- From the User Defined Language panel, import that file:
Language > Define your language... then press the Import button
ColdFusion will then appear at the bottom of the Language menu item selection list, and NotePad++ will automatically use it for any .CF file you open.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried it myself.
I found that nppColdFusion was working well, until I updated NP++ to version 7.6.6. I have tried just about everything to get it working, but to no avail.
I tried Delire Web's solution and it worked perfectly.
The different formatting (font and background colors) takes a bit of getting used to though.

Does anyone know of a plugin where I can get the breadcrumbs of a file I am working on.
Lets say I am working on app/controllers/admin/crs/abc, So I can see this info at the top or start of the window.
I am using ember and due to pod structure its hard to know which file I am working as all of them have different folders but same names.
Simply edit your user preferences and add
"show_full_path": true
and the full path of the file will appear in Sublime's titlebar when the file is active.
Compare with the setting (OS X):
to without it:
I know this is an old question but still, I think this is an interesting Package that not many people know of.
On top of #mattdmo answer, you might even want to check the breadcrumbs for a nested structure (pretty much like you'd do in VS Code): just install Breadcrumbs for Sublime Text. Not as cool, but it works ok.
I am a Sublime's newbie and I am trying to use the cool Find/replace tab.
Is there a way (package or shortcut) to have a scroll-down menu that shows items I previously searched/replaced? This feature is available for example in Notepad++. This would be particularly helpful hen working with regex's variations.
I searched and found question about running a series of search-replaces in a row but what I need is just the possibility to go back to items I looked for in the past.
Thanks a lot
In Sublime 3, this feature is available. Below is a screenshot (underneath the window you see on the right is a drop-down arrow). Are you using Sublime 2 or 3? Sublime Text 3 can be downloaded here.
I made a simple regex search in Netbeans 7.3 on Windows (using Ctrl+F):
\{\{.*?\}\}
The results get highlighted correctly and the question is - how to extract highlighted text search results? Let it be copying to clipboard, saving as file or whatever else.
Is there any method doing this?
Maybe someone has any suggestion of alternative quick approach to such task in Netbeans? (or other editor)
What OS are you running? If OS X or Linux, read on!
I'm not sure about automatically copying the highlighted results to the clipboard, but I do workaround this quite a bit as well.
The easiest way to accomplish this for me without leaving NetBeans is to simply open a built in terminal window through Window>Output>Terminal (in 7.2.1) - I then navigate to my project, and run the RegEx that I built in the Find feature with my tool of choice. In fact, I use the built in terminal for this type of quick stuff in NetBeans quite a bit. If running Linux, using clipboard tools like xsel (http://linux.die.net/man/1/xsel) in combination with a built in terminal emulator can allow for devising some nice workflow shortcuts within IDEs if you are more comfortable working/coding at a terminal. Note that built in terminal emulators like the one in NetBeans is likely not going to play nicely with cut/copy/paste using the mouse, for various reasons that I won't get in to here.
As far as a built in/extension based solution for something like this, it would be helpful! I am not aware of one.
Hope this workaround helps in the meantime.
Is there anyone out there who has a dark color scheme for Dreamweaver (CS6) that includes coldFusion Code?
I was not able to find any and changing the colors by hand is really painful
Would be great if you could share one.
Tks
There are colour files for Dreamweaver, but I haven't found any that actually work with Coldfusiun. You can follow this guides process. It is a manual process, but it will tell you exactly what to change and as indicated by the latest update at the bottom it does work in CS6.
Copying from link in case link dies. Do note that you will have to go to the link to download the links.
Close Dreamweaver
Browse to: %APPDATA%\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration\CodeColoring
Rename the Colors.xml file to something different – say Colors2.xml (This will be the file you go back to if you don’t like the new colour scheme)
Download and extract the the zip at the end of this article to the location you opened at point 2.
Open Dreamweaver and go to Edit/Preferences/Code Colouring and change the default background colour to #003
As a side note. If you are only using Dreamweaver to write Coldfusion, maybe you should consider looking at CFEclipse. I've found it to be much better than Dreamweaver at writing Coldfusion. Also it's built on top of Eclipse. Which has a plugin to change the colouring. It's also easier to change it manually.
My first question on StackOverflow...
Does anybody know a way of viewing the reference/documentation manual of a language through CodeBlocks? Specifically for C/C++.
Example:
Say I want to look up the reference for strncpy(). In a very old Borland system (which we use at school) I would write the word and middle-click on it, thus being taken to its reference. It would also be nice if one can browse through the manual in some way.
Have I completely overlooked this (also searching google), or is it missing?
If it's missing, what's the quickest way of searching the C and/or reference manual without being online?
Regards!
Yes, it is possible. I'm not sure about the help files themselves though.
The procedure seems to be documented here.
from the forums.

if you have the help plugin installed, you can set help files through "Settings->Environment" and clicking on "Help files" in the list to the left.
The default file is called when pressing F1..

You are right but is there any up do date documentation ?
Now I use MSDN or cppreference.com web pages.

I found the complete answer. Based on your reply EvilTech.
Here's the setup procedure for different systems:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Help_plugin
And here are the help files for C++ compiled from an online source:
http://onnerby.se/~daniel/chm/
I find it strange though that I couldn't find any other help files for C "out there". I also had problems viewing the .chm files. The list of keywords of the file are shown, but the contents of each keyword does not show. Turns out this is comes from a windows security update. The solution is to right-click on the file -> properties -> click on "unblock".
(BTW, do you mean Code::Blocks)
Having never used that, I can say anything definite, but have you tried selecting the term and pressing F1?
Why not ask this in the forums of Code::Blocks?
