Editor Profiles (Found under Preferences->ColdFusion->Editor Profiles) are meant to group all editor preferences under one set and save them all for future use.This allows users to create different profiles for different editor preferences and allows one click applying of all your favorite editor preference settings.

So what you can do is set individual editor preferences like colorization, keyboard shortcuts and code assist preferences etc. for a particular style of coding/editor use. Now once done, navigate to “Editor Profiles” preferences page and save them all as a set by creating a new profile. This newly created profile will save current values of all editor preferences. Following editor preferences are saved as profiles

1) ColdFusion->Editor Profiles-> Editor

2) Code Assist

3) Colors

4) Keys

5) Outline

6) Syntax checking

7) Typing

You can make any changes to editor preferences and whenever you want all your favorite settings back, all you have to do is, open editor profiles, select your previously saved profile and hit apply. This will set all editor preferences to values they had when you created this new profile. This can be very useful when you want to have different editor preferences for different kind of development needs.

ColdFusion Builder has three profiles created by default. They are

a) Default - sets all editor preferences to ColdFusion Builder defaults

b) Dreamweaver - sets all editor preferences similar to Dreamweaver (as applicable)

c) CFEclipse- sets all editor preferences similar to CFEclipse (as applicable)
