Thank you for putting it together, you just helped me become more productive! A couple I use that I don't think I read... (I assume they work for ruby development too) Select a block of text- then (tab/shift-tab) or (alt-shift-right/left) will indent/unindent the whole thing Tools->options->editor->code templates This has a bunch of shortcuts you can use by typing out a few letters and then hitting shift-space, and you can create your own easily I use netbeans for php, but this is still a phenomenal list.

Netbeans is in it's own ways as good as eclipse, just need to get used to it.

I have used netbeans only on a few occasions. Nowadays I am playing with Rebol, which I find is really cool. so I don't need a sophisticated IDE. Just wondering why those guys at Netbeans did not document that ? Sometimes I am really frustrated with the open source products, because of their complete disregard for end users. I remember I did post a question on the netbeans forum, asking them how I could get help on a Ruby reserved word, just like in java. you position your cursor on a java word and righ click and select "show javadoc" . you know the ALT F1 on a java class for example. I never got a good answer and Never got it to work so I gave up on netbeans. I am not talking about code completion here. so are they not documented in netbeans help ?. just asking because I used to use eclipse too. I have used netbeans only on a few occasions.

This one is complementary to the one above and will let you open a file rather than a type. Note that it is extremely slow if you have a large project (or several projects)..... Not anymore. Although the "Open File Fast" plugin takes about 70 secs to index each of my very large Rails projects each time I start the IDE, from that point on, it's lightning-fast at the textmate-style "open by filename." I usually only open it once per day, so this is a non-issue for me. I have many of my shortcuts remapped to mimic TM, so to me this is the CMD+T that has been missing. It works so well that I've actually got a couple of TM guys in the shop taking NB for a spin. http://github.com/sickill/off-plugin/tree/master ….Alt+Shift+O – open file by name.
