Some Netbeans Shortcuts

As written before we are pretty happy with Netbeans and it’s Ruby/Rails support. As a previous Eclipse user it took me a while to get used to the keyboard shortcuts (though some are the same as in Eclipse). Here are some of them i use most:

  • Close Document: Meta + W
  • Close all Documents: Shift + Meta + W
  • List Documents: Shift + F4
  • Next/Previous Document: Meta + PageDown / PageUp
  • Run File: Shift + F6
  • Debug File: Shift + Meta + F5
  • Move Line Up: CTRL + Shift + Arrow Up / Arrow Down
  • Ident/Unident: Tab / Shift Tab or CTRL + Shift + Arrow Right / Arrow Left

Oh and if your Mac started talking to you after experimenting with shortcuts: Apple + F5 will switch it of again :-)
