About Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are keystroke combinations consisting of a modifier key
and a character key, such as Control-Z, that let you run commands and navigate
in the IDE windowing system. The IDE organizes keyboard shortcuts into the following
groups:
- IDE Menu Shortcuts. Shortcuts to the
commands in the main IDE menus.
- Source Editor Shortcuts. Shortcuts
to commands and actions available in the Source Editor. Some Source Editor
shortcuts are common to all file types, while others are only available when
editing certain types of files.
- IDE Window Shortcuts. Non-editable
shortcuts for navigate, activate, and select operations in windows in the
IDE.
- Help Viewer Shortcuts. Non-configurable
shortcuts for navigating the Online Help System.
The IDE also provides different sets of preconfigured shortcuts for users who
are used to the keyboard shortcuts of other editors and IDEs. You can copy and
modify any keyboard shortcut set. The IDE provides the following shortcut sets:
- emacs
- NetBeans IDE
- Eclipse
