Shortcuts on Mac OS X

The IDE has a default set of keyboard shortcuts that you can use to invoke functions. In some cases, the default IDE shortcuts can conflict with default Mac OS shortcuts. In particular, some function keys used by the Mac OS are known to conflict with some default IDE shortcuts. If you find that some keyboard shortcuts are not behaving as expected, you can modify the shortcut for a particular IDE function by choosing NetBeans > Preferences (Cmd-,) from the main menu and clicking Keyboard in the Options window. You can modify the default Mac OS shortcut by opening System Preferences and clicking Keyboard & Mouse. For more, see the Apple Help topic Using function keys on portable computers.
