A shortcut key can be associated with the org.netbeans.modules.openfile.RecentFileAction. Processing of the shortcut key pressing should be implemented in the method RecentFileAction.actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt). See also: * Issue 169741 * http://core.netbeans.org/proposals/recent-files-ui-spec.html * http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewAndNoteWorthyMilestone4#section-NewAndNoteWorthyMilestone4-OpenRecentFile Note, the UI spec doesn't describe processing of the shortcut key pressing.
The document "Highlights of NetBeans IDE 6.8 Keyboard Shortcuts & Code Templates" doesn't define a shortcut for File/Open File... action. By default, the shortcut is not associated with the action, but Tools/Options/Keymap is an easy way to do that if it is need.
