Most of the keyboard shortcuts are not natural MacOS shortcuts. Examples of these are Redo (Cmd+Shift+Z instead of Cmd+Y), Delete Previous Word (Option + backspace), Delete Next Word (Option + delete), Insertion Point to Begining of Document (Cmd + UP_ARROW), Insertion Point to End of Document (Cmd + DOWN_ARROW), among others I can not remember right now. The most annoying problem is that Edit->Redo can not be reassigned. I also tried to assign Cmd + R to Run Project, and that did not work (it kept showing the Replace dialog).
the problem with reassigning cmd-R seems to be fixed in 6.5. Can you please list all the action which are not natural to MacOS (current shortcut, default Mac shortcut) ? Thanks.
Natural Mac Shortcuts are: Delete Previous Word: Option + Backspace Delete Next Word: Option + Delete Extend Selection to Beginning of Document: Command + Shift + UP_ARROW Extend Selection to End of Document: Command + Shift + DOWN_ARROW Insertion Point to Beginning of Document: Command + UP_ARROW Insertion Point to End of Document: Command + DOWN_ARROW Back: Command + [ Forward: Command + ] Redo: Command + Shift + Z Delete Line: Ctrl + Shift + K (Used in TextMate. Netbeans actually uses Command + E, but personally I think is too easy to make a mistake) Comment Line: Command + / These shortcuts are from Mac OS 10.4... Although I guess/hope that Leopard 10.5 are the same. Thanks for the great work in NetBeans.
OK, presuming alt==Option, apple_key==Command, and trying out with TextEdit.app, I've set: Delete Previous Word: Option + Backspace Delete Next Word: Option + Delete Insertion Point to Beginning of Document: Command + UP_ARROW Insertion Point to End of Document: Command + DOWN_ARROW Back& Forward: Won't change, lot of people is accustomed to it. Redo: Made Command-Shift-Z the only shortcut on Mac Delete Line: Won't change, lot of people is accustomed to it. Comment Line: Already there I won't touch Extend Selection* because of conflicts with 'Copy/Move selection or Line up/down'. We will have to come up with a solution in the future.
