NetBeans shortcut key for collapsing/expanding a method


This is an IDE question

I am always working with collapsed methods, because I want to be able to see my methods all together. This is a little time consuming because I have to use the mouse to scroll up to the declaration of the method and click on the - (minus) icon. And then respectively go to the method I want to work on and click on the + (plus) icon.

Is there a way through a keyboard shortcut to do the collapse (and respectively the expand)?


Solution

  • I copied a piece from http://wiki.netbeans.org/KeymapProfileFor60.

    The first option is for Win/Lin and the second for Mac.

    Command Windows Mac
    Collapse (hide) a block Ctrl + - + -
    Expand a Collapsed Block (expand-fold) Ctrl + + + +
    Collapse (hide) all code blocks Ctrl + Shift + - + Shift + -
    Expand all code blocks (expand-all-folds) Ctrl + Shift + + + Shift + +

    1 On Windows you can also use the numpad + and -
    2 It says +, achkatually it's the = key
