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.

Tips & Tricks
The following are some techniques you can use to get more out of NetBeans IDE on Mac OS X.
- To emulate right mouse click behavior.
Use Ctrl-click by pressing and holding the Control button while clicking. Also see issue #32463 regarding right-click emulation on multiple files.
- To specify which JDK to run NetBeans on.
Use the --jdkhome <path> option when starting NetBeans. <path> is the root of the JDK installation. The NetBeans installer looks for suitable JDK installations available on user's system and allows you to select the one you want to run NetBeans on. However, the setting may become obsolete when the user installs a new JDK later, or may be inconvenient if you want to run the IDE with another JDK. That's where the
--jdkhome
switch comes in handy.Note: If you want to set the <path> option permanently, you can do so in the netbeans.conf file as described below.
- To make custom startup parameters permanent.
If you want NetBeans to always start with specific options such as --userdir, --jdkhome, --fontsize, etc., so that you don't have to type them on the command line at every launch, the most convenient way is to add your custom options directly to the NetBeans configuration (
netbeans.conf
) file.To do this, Control-click the NetBeans application icon and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. In the Finder window that appears, navigate to the
Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/
directory, Control-clicknetbeans.conf
, choose Open With from the contextual menu, and select your preferred text editor. Then add the custom parameters you wish to use and save your changes.The netbeans.conf file can include the following entries:
- netbeans_default_userdir: the default location and name of the userdir. Note that this entry is only valid in the global configuration file. It cannot be redefined in the local netbeans.conf file, because the launcher already needs to know the location of the userdir when the local netbeans.conf file is being processed.
- netbeans_default_options: any parameters passed to NetBeans or the JVM such as memory configuration parameters, debugging options, --fontsize, various experimental switches, etc.
- netbeans_jdkhome: the default location of the JDK to run NetBeans on. Note that this can be overridden with the --jdkhome switch.
