Bug 122512

I found some additional keyboard shortcuts that don't work. I was pretty surprised to find these, since they are
standard keyboard shortcuts in most Windows applications (copy, cut, paste, undo, etc).

Here is the complete list (so far) of missing keyboard shortcuts from the Eclipse profile, I'll update if I find more.

Edit -> Copy 	        Ctrl+C	Copy
Edit -> Cut             Ctrl+X	Cut
Edit -> File Members 	Ctrl+O	Quick Outline
Edit -> Go To Type	Ctrl+T	Open Type
Edit-> Paste	        Ctrl+V	Paste
Edit -> Replace	        Ctrl+F	Find/Replace
Edit-> Undo	        Ctrl+Z	Undo
Other -> Toggle Comment	Ctrl+/	Toggle comment/uncomment current line
Source -> Fix Code	Ctrl+1	Quick Fix
Source -> Format	Ctrl+Shift+F	Format Source
Tools-> Go to File	Ctrl+Shift+R	Open Resource

Here is an additional keymap that is missing:

Location:                Shortcut:      Eclipse Lingo: 
Refactor -> Find Usages	 Ctrl+Alt+H	Open Call Hiererchy

A couple more:

Other -> Copy Selection else line down	Ctrl+Down Arrow	Copy Lines
Other -> Copy Selection else line up	Ctrl+Up Arrow	Duplicate Lines

Location:               Shortcut:       Eclipse Lingo:
Other -> Insert Code	Alt+Shift+S	Source...

One correction:

Location:               Shortcut:       Eclipse Lingo:
Edit -> Go To Type	Ctrl+Shift+T	Open Type

And a new missing shortcut:

Location:               Shortcut:       Eclipse Lingo:
Edit -> Hierarchy	Ctrl+T	Quick Type Hierarchy

Two more corrections (my apologies):

Location:                               Shortcut:               Eclipse Lingo:
Other -> Copy Selection else line down	Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow	Copy Lines
Other -> Copy Selection else line up	Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow	Duplicate Lines

Note, I've also been updating the list on my blog, the list can be seen at:
http://www.jroller.com/heffel/entry/netbeans_6_0_eclipse_keyboard

It might be easier to read there than going through all the comments I've been leaving here.

Found one more:

Location:                                       Shortcut:       Eclipse Lingo:
Other -> Insertion Point to Matching Brace	Ctrl+Shift+P	Go to Matching Bracket

The thing I miss (really miss) is ctrl-T (ctrl-shift T). I use this at least 20 times a day in eclipse. Its a life saver
if youre programming to an interface and wish to navigate to an implementation of the interface.

Found two additional missing keybindings from the Eclipse keymap:

Location:                               Shortcut:       Eclipse Lingo:
Other -> Move Selection else line down	Alt+Down Arrow	Move Lines Down
Other -> Move Selection else line up	Alt+Up Arrow	Move Lines Up

One more correction:

Location:               Shortcut:  Eclipse Lingo:
Edit -> File Hierarchy	Ctrl+T	   Quick Type Hierarchy

I am still updating the list at http://www.jroller.com/heffel/entry/netbeans_6_0_eclipse_keyboard as I find corrections
or additions. The list of shortcuts is easier to read there.

Huh, that sounds like our Eclipse profile is pretty much useless with so many missing shortcuts (including the very
basic ones). It should be easy to fix. Thanks for this nice report.

One more:

Location:                               Shortcut:   Eclipse Lingo:
Other -> Show Documentation Popup	F2	    Show Tooltip Description

vstejskal,

Since this should be an easy fix, is there any chance that the missing shortcuts could be included in NB 6 final?

David

unfortunately not, 6.0 is almost released, but I suppose it will be possible to "import" keymap settings from dev build
to 6.0 once, this issue is fixed.

Found one more:

Location:                       Shortcut:   Eclipse Lingo:
Edit -> Find in Projects	Ctrl+H	    Open Search Dialog

Blog post at http://www.jroller.com/heffel/entry/netbeans_6_0_eclipse_keyboard updated accordingly.

Once fixed, we should be able to make it downloadable from AU, the module would be ide/defaults. I'm not exactly sure
how this would be called in the actual list under Tools -> Plugins.

*** Issue 116836 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

Raising priority to P2 - this is key functionality that does not work right.  Someone who tries it and the keybindings don't actually work is even less likely to try 
NetBeans in the future.

Vito, please fix it. Thanks

Should be fixed. David, could you please check the shortcuts in a dev build or 6.1M2 when it's ready? Thanks

I've gone through all shortcuts mentioned in this report and all works fine for me. 
It would be fine if someone with Eclipse experience would confirm it as well. 

The fix has been ported into the release601_fixes branch.

I downloaded the latest NetBeans 6.0.1 patch by following the steps explained at
http://www.nabble.com/NetBeans-6.0.1-Patch1-Now-Available-td15596184.html

I went through all the Eclipse keyboard shortcuts. It looks like all but one of the 
shortcuts are now correct.

The one that is still not working is: 

Other -> Show Documentation Popup	F2	Show Tooltip Description

yes F2 is still assigned to improper action, it works only between braces of method call, see issue 127116
