NetBeans GUI Builder shorcut keys

[averscer]

I'm new to Java and NetBeans and was wondering if there were any shortcut keys while using the GUI Builder? I searched the help docs and online but couldn't find anything. It's quite a task to click on every component, then the Variable Name in the properties window to rename it! I'm looking for a "next component" keystroke and shortcut to naming / properties.=)

Also how do I set the code generation to allow me edit what is generated? Does NetBeans allow reverse integration like in VS? or is it uneditable?

So many questions! haha thanks guys!

Your questions are about the NetBeans IDE, this is a Java forum.

Whilst you may get lucky and find someone here that uses NetBeans and is willing to help you (Sorry but I don't use NetBeans) you are much more likely to get an answer if you post on a NetBeans specific forum.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware everyone here uses notepad and a compiler.

NetBeans isn't the only IDE for Java there are several IDE's available both commercial and free (personally, I use Eclipse).

BTW you still use a Java compiler when coding in an IDE it's just that the IDE runs it for you.
