Editor keys

[Kenneth P. Turvey-2]

A friend of mine and I were comparing Eclipse to NetBeans today and I
realized something.  He asked me what the key combination to delete a
line was, something I do all the time in vi without ever thinking about
it.  I was sure that NetBeans had a key combination to do this, but I was
unable to find it anywhere.  I did a search on Google and found this:

http://developers.sun.com/jsenterprise/reference/techart/
shortcuts.html#editing

Which is great, but I should be able to look these thing up in NetBeans
itself, and change them if I choose to.  

Now ideally, NetBeans would work just like vi :-), but I know that some
heretics might not enjoy this mode of operation.  That said, I should be
able to customize any of these key combinations that I choose to, or at
least find out what they are without leaving the application.  

Even the help information is incomplete.  It only mentions the
"Highlights".  

So where is this information contained in the NetBeans application?

I'm using NetBeans 6.1 BTW.

I'm not sure if it works with NB 6.1, but there is a vi plugin for NetBeans: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3653

It worked on 6.0.

Yes, thanks, but I knew the answer to the particular question that had
come up when I posted the message.  

The real issue I was trying to get at was that I couldn't find the
information in NetBeans itself.  Also, how do I set it to be Ctrl-F if I
want it to be?  There doesn't seem to be any reason why I shouldn't be
able to do so, so how do I?

Thanks.

In 6.0 at least, you need to go to

Tools|Options|Keymap

I actually looked there, but was unable to find many of the basic editor
commands.  For instance, where do I find that Ctrl-E deletes a line?  

Thanks,

It's under the 'Other' node of the Keymap tree in 6.0

Other?

Thanks.  It looks like most of the information I was looking for is
categorized under "Other".

In NetBeans: Help->Keyboard Shortcuts Card will bring up a PDF with most of the standard shortcuts, it directs you to http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/KeymapProfileFor60 for the complete list.

To modify the shortcuts, you can go to Tools->Options, then click on the "Keymap" icon at the top.

Hope that helps.

Just an FYI, this turns out to be another Perforce/VCS file locking
quirk.  

I got this message trying to generate a junit test file for one of my
classes.  Googling didn't help me determine the cause of the problem.
It turns out I had already generated a test class and checked it in, and
now the test file is not checked out from Perforce and so not able to be
replaced with the newly generated file.  There is a prompt to edit the
file, which, even though I answer in the affirmative, doesn't seem to
actually make the file editable, and so another attempt to generate the
test file from the source fails again.  However, if I manually mark the
file for edit in perforce (using the NB plugin), now the test file
generation succeeds.

Just thought I'd record this for some future Perforce and Netbeans user
to find in *their* google search...
