Description rihav1 2008-04-19 20:32:07 UTC 
There is no shortcut for Build Main Project. If the user will read just the tutorial and pdf documents with shortcuts,
he won't be able to build main project
Comment 1 Jaromir Uhrik 2008-04-25 10:51:19 UTC 
The F11 shortcut needs to be mentioned in shotcuts.pds available via Help|Keyboard Shortcuts Card. Reassigning to
usersguide component.
Comment 2 Patrick Keegan 2008-04-25 11:02:00 UTC 
the keyboard shortcut card doesn't have every shortcut, nor should it (if it did, it would be about 8 pages). If someone
could suggest a less important shortcut to remove, we can consider adding it.

Regarding the tutorial, it explicitly uses Build Project (not "main" project) to avoid the case where somebody might not
have the main project set and then get confused when Build Main Project doesn't run. Menu items have accelerators, so I
don't see how this is an A11Y issue
Comment 3 rihav1 2008-04-25 11:28:26 UTC 
Well, but there is (Section "Compiling the Source File"):
To compile your source file, choose Build > Build Main Project from the IDE's main menu.
....
Comment 4 Patrick Keegan 2008-04-25 11:43:07 UTC 
oops, right you are about that. I've added keyboard shortcuts to the New Project, Build, and Run commands in the
tutorial. Those changes will appear live on Monday.
Comment 5 Irina Filippova 2009-10-06 17:57:55 UTC 
The latest version of the tutorial: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/quickstart.html includes shortcuts. Closing the
issue as fixed.
