Select, copy or cut the current line in Netbeans

Question

In Netbeans I find keyboard shortcuts that deal with the current line of code very helpful, like Ctrl-Shift-Down: duplicate Shift-Alt-Down: move Ctrl-E: delete

Is there a shortcut for selecting, cutting or copying the current line of code? I've looked through many cheat sheets and thought I'll ask here before attempting a macro.

Thanks!

Answer 1

heh he. I've always used home, shift-end, ^C, since it works in just about every editor there is.

Answer 2

I found you could easily assign a keyboard shortcut for selecting the current line in the Keymap section of the Netbeans Options. I've now mapped Ctrl+. to do this.

Answer 3

NetBeans supports editor macros.

• Open a document.

• Click in it to set an initial cursor position.

• Click "Edit > Start Macro Recording".

• Press Home, press Shift-End, press Ctrl-C.

• Click "Edit > Stop Macro Recording".

• You will now be prompted to name your macro. Use something obvious like select-entire-line.

• Click OK
• Click Set Shortcut... to assign a shortcut to the macro.

Tripple click anywhere on that line. Then press Ctrl-C.
