Playing with NetBeans XML Layer Files (Part 1)

Tips to Remember

This code has a shortcut key “Alt+F3″, which is represented as “O-F3.shadow”, so this means, if you have some key combination, that uses “Alt”, then use “O”, and for each “+” sign use “-” ,finally concatenate with the just formed combination with “.shadow”! If you use “Ctrl”, then use “D” and for “Shift”, use “S”!

Following are some key equivalents used in XML Layer;

1. A to Z (as it is), F1 to F12 (as it is), 0 to 9 (as it is)
2. / as SLASH, \ as BACK_SLASH
3. ; as SEMI_COLON
4. . as PERIOD
5. ‘ as QUOTE

These were some of the frequently used keys in Shortcut Key combination, if you want to know some more, you can post a comment over here. I would be glad to help you out! Actually, I was developing a module for past one week, and more intensely on the weekend, and have observed this by hit-and-trial, and thought of sharing the trick with you people. Anyways, thanks for following, enjoy and have fun! To know more about the surprise, keep an eye on my blog!
