Java Reference
In-Depth Information
We can add our own templates by clicking on the
New
button, we will be prompted
for the template's abbreviation. Once we enter it our new template will be added to
the template list and will automatically be selected. We can then enter the expanded
text for our template in the
Expanded Text
tab.
It would be good to mention that code templates exist not only for Java but for
HTML, CSS, and all other editors in NetBeans.
Keyboard shortcuts
NetBeans offers several keyboard shortcuts that allow very fast navigation between
source files. Memorizing these keyboard shortcuts allow us to develop code a lot
more effectively than relying on the mouse. Some of the most useful NetBeans
keyboard shortcuts are listed in this section, but this list is by no means exhaustive,
the complete list of NetBeans keyboard shortcuts can be found online at
