Switching from Eclipse to Netbeans

Question

Hi, I'm trying to switch from Eclipse to Netbeans for my PHP projects. All is well and fine, but there are a few features that I'm missing, namely:

• Shortcut for Open method/function and go to declaration from any file in the project
• Shortcut for Display class methods for a class I'm currently in

If there are key bindings for the above, I would be happy to find them out.

Thx

Answer 1

Navigation in NetBeans: http://blogs.sun.com/netbeansphp/entry/code_navigation

Class view provides Navigator in NetBeans - Ctrl+7

Answer 2

Shortcut for Open method/function and go to declaration from any file in the project

Go To Symbol - CRTL + ALT + SHIFT + O

Answer 3

In the last two months, I've been switching from Eclipse to Netbeans too.

• For the Open Method, you can select on the method/variable usage and then right click to get Navigate -> Go To Declaration or select and then go to the menu option Navigate -> Go To Declaration.

• For the class information, you want the Navigator. In the Menu, go to Window -> Navigating -> Navigator.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note. There are about 10-12 of us in the core PHP community that are switching.
