If you use development build, you probably noticed that NetBeans editor added Rectangular Selection action. I don't need this functionality every day, but it can be helpful in some case. One of such case is when you need to delete line numbers in a text or code copied from a tutorial. Like on the picture below. You can select the rectangle after pressing Rectangular Selection toggle button in the editor toolbar or pressing CTRL+SHIFT+R shortcut. The selection can be easily...

This is a tip how to add a shortcut for generating PHP Doc for a class or method / function. Probably every body who uses PHP editor in NetBeans knows that if you write start of PHP Documentation /** just before a class or method/function and hit ENTER, then NetBeans tries to finished the PHP Documentation and adds PHP Doc tag, if there are needed. This feature is not implemented as an action, it's based on the code that checks what is written on the line after pressing...

Yesterday I run into an issue that a user wants to use tabulator character for indentation level. Because I answer similar question often, I will try to explain it here. By default NetBeans editors use for indentation level 4 spaces and don't use tabulator character (\t). When you press Tab key, then NetBeans place caret on the column that corresponds to the next indentation level and the difference is filled with spaces. So by default pressing Tab key adds 4 spaces. If...

In NetBeans 6.9 is available Profile me Now! feature as well for PHP distribution. This feature generate a snapshot to understand what's going on if you think that the IDE is slow. By default the feature is not visible and you have to enable the IDE's self-profiling feature. Go to View main menu, then choose Toolbar and enable Memory toolbar. Now you should see Memory toolbar and also Profile Me button. Prepare the IDE for the operation that seems to be slow. Press the...

NetBeans 6.9 contains a feature that automatically looks for external changes to keep informations about files up-to-date. We have some reports that it can slow down NetBeans mainly, when an open project has many folders. When NetBeans find out that files were externally changed, it re-scans the files to keep data up-to-date that are used with features like code completion, navigation etc. Unfortunately the notification and following re-scanning can take some time and during...

Probably the last tip is the IDE status bar that could help you in situation, where you have opened more files with the same name. The status bar displays full file path of the selected file in the popup window that is displayed during switching between opened files in the editor through CTRL+TAB short cut. I have also created four issues, the issue #178090 that explains the problem and is basically umbrella for three issues: #178091 - Display in title bar path for the...

Yesterday I wrote about option Synchronize Editor with Views and Carlos imentioned the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+1 in his comment. The shortcut is active, when you are in the editor and selects the edited file in Projects view that obtain also focus. So the difference between Synchronize Editor with Views and this shortcut is that the focus is changed. In similar way shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+2 works too, but it opens the Files view and selects the edited file there. And CTRL+SHIFT+3...

There is one requirement to see a part of file path as name of tab of opened editor to simply recognized the file that is opened. Sure there is a tooltip, which shows the full path of the file, but the mouse has to be used to display the tooltip. This is mainly needed, when there are opened many files with the same name. Although there is not such functionality yet, there is Synchronize Editor with Views option that could help you. You can find it in View menu and if the...

Last week, when I was at the IPC 2009 conference, a some user ask me whether NetBeans removes trailing spaces. It was one question from many and I would like to clarify how it works in NetBeans 6.0 - NetBeans 6.8. Basically it works automatically on save. So when you invoke Save action then the trailing spaces should be removed from the file. There are two exceptions, when the spaces are not removed from a line: The line wasn't changed. The main reason for such behavior is...
