User problem: ----------------------------------- Configuring all the keyboard shortcuts is a time consuming task. User need: ----------------------------------- The user wants to use keyboard shortcuts he is used to. Product requirement: ----------------------------------- Provide shortcut presets for most commonly used IDEs (Visual Studio, EMACS, ...) and a simple way how to choose them. Also necessary is to support multi-key shortcuts to be able to support EMACS ones.
Not having the gnu emacs keys pre-configured is a real problem for the developers at my company. We have decided to use Eclipse instead. We believe that this is a very important feature missing from Netbeans. I wish someone with fix this.
Note that, though hackish, this is semi doable already via a module. We're doing something like this for Apple keybindings.
There are 5 different issues related to vi / vim / emacs / other keybindings and similar editor functionality support. Those are being consolidated into enhancement issue 12858. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 12858 ***
