Netbeans - Custom Shortcut for Creating HTML Elements

Question

I have recently tested Netbeans PHP stuff starting with Webuilder. In Webuilder, SHIFT + ENTER will create a <br /> element, and SHIFT + SPACE will do   .

Turns out it's very convenient, and I miss it at Netbeans. Is there any way to get this functionality in some way?

Answer 1

You just need to click Edit -> Start Macro Recording , then you need to enter <br /> and then click Edit -> Stop Macro Recording . In the next window, you can assign a name and shortcut to your macro

Edit: And remove the shortcut for Start new Line in Tools -> Options -> Keymap because it interferes

Answer 2

The code template function can also be useful (especially for large code snippets, such as class definitions):

Tools> Options> Editor> Code Templates

Answer 3

You can create macros and assign a shortcut to a macro.
