Apache NetBeansHow do I find out which keybindings are already in use?
Note: These pages are being reviewed.
For an existing release you can look at e.g. KeymapProfileFor60 to see the specification.
If you are developing a module for NetBeans development builds,
you can just look at
this file
in the section Shortcuts/.
This will show all global keybindings being used by modules in the standard IDE
as well as experimental update center
in http://hg.netbeans.org/main/ and http://hg.netbeans.org/main/contrib/
as of a few hours ago.
Editor-specific keybindings are listed in Editors///Keybindings/ folders,
which is unfortunately harder to browse through.
Be conservative about adding new keybindings;
they are a precious resource.
Be careful with bindings using Alt, as these often clash with mnemonics,
Linux window manager shortcuts, etc.
If at all possible, use a multistroke binding:
for example, Shortcuts/D-J R C.shadow binds the 3-stroke sequence Ctrl-J R C.
