I 've encountered that many developers make n't cognize some of the coolest clip relieving features available to them. This can be anything like shapes, models, plugins, even databases. This station is revolve around the one thing that most Flex
developers utilize unremarkable, the IDE. I cognize some of you out there are utilizing Notepad ( or more likely TextMate or Six ), but this station is for the residual of us that select to endure through the slings and pointers of Flex Builder.
One of the great things about Flex Builder being repose on the Occultation Platform is getting most ( unfortunately not all ) the features Java ( and other ) developers hold been utilized to for geezerhood. This station concentrate on the crosscuts I wish to utilize nighly
unremarkable.
Pilotage
- To inaugurate the listing is [ ctrl ] + [ chink ]
This shoulds be the individual fastest mode to voyage through the codification when following an executing way. Note, this is the same as [ F3 ]
, or [ rt clink ]
- & gt; '' Goto Definition - [ ctrl ] + [ O ]
Along the same lines as the above cutoff for speedy pilotage, [ ctrl ] + [ oxygen ]
conveys upwardly the speedy lineation. Remark that the box on top is a filter box ( a common topic in the IDE ) that filtrates the contents ( note it makes not support wild cards )
- [ ctrl ] + [ f6 ]
( same as [ ctrl ] + [ check ]
[ ctrl ] + [ f7 ]
[ ctrl ] + [ f8 ]
These all fundamentally make the same thing, only for different facets. They take upward a listing of Editors, Views, or Positions in last seen order. This intends you can toggle between the last two points rattlingly promptly. I besides encounter this much quicker for chance a specific file than scanning the checks across the top.


- [ ctrl ] + [ tocopherol ]
- Similar to [ ctrl ] + [ f6 ]
, the large vantage this characteristic holds is the hunting box ( including shape gibing ). If I 'm exchanging between more simply two files this is my preferable method.
- [ ctrl ] + [ pg upward ]
[ ctrl ] + [ pg downward ]
Since we are speaking about pass through positions, these are the easiest fashion to consecutive pass over editors. Since I hold a disposition to hold a XII or more unfastened at once I utilise this to a lesser degree two methods above. - [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ T ]
[ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ R ]
Clear Type and Clear Resource, both duologues are great clip rescuers for opening a mark file or category. If you are like me and detest to utilize the mouse any to a higher degree absolutely necessary these two dialogues extinguish any demand to apply the navigator to encounter a file. Both duologues are efficaciously the same, but Clear Type justly names types which does it quicker for Type hunts.
- [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ gramme ]
- Hunting for Mentions in the current workspace. This is great when valuing codification modification impacts. But set the pointer on the symbol you desire to run for and hit [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ gramme ]
the hunting perspective will spue out every mention in your current workspace. There is besides [ ctrl ] + [ gm ]
for seeking for Definitions, I merely make n't utilise it rattlingly ofttimes. - [ alt ] + [ left ] [ alt ] + [ right ]
- Transits the last countries you redacted. Fundamentally a superintendent weak
version of Bookmarkers. - [ ctrl ] + [ meter ]
Maximize Window toggle, same a two-bagger snapping the check for the editor. I employ this constantly to see more codification then leap back to debug perspective. - [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ P ]
- Goto fitting bracket, really utile on biggerer blocks of codification. - [ ctrl ] + [ Litre ]
- Goto Line #. Especially utile when debugging an mistake tongue out at runtime with a stack hint. - [ ctrl ] + [, ]
[ ctrl ] + [. ]
- Following and Old job. - [ ctrl ] + [ F ]
Opens the breakthrough duologue, [ ctrl ] + [ K ]
ingeminates the last hunt ( same as [ f3 ] in most windows based IDE 's ) - [ ctrl ] + [ 3 ]
Quick Entree Uber tool
This small treasure essentially allows you execute anything. You can exchange editors, perspectives, views, execute bids, it even holds a listing of your old picks to render speedy admission to any bids that make n't hold their ain crosscuts. Remark again that this includes a filter, although it makes not support wildcards

Codification Redaction
- [ ctrl ] + [ infinite ]
Seriously, I 've been enquire more once `` what is that key that conveys upwardly the listing of available methods? '' This is one of those features that does life suchly easier. Even to a higher degree standard codification completion, this great characteristic will automatically add the chosen category to your importations if took! This is great when copying codification between families, I but cancel the last character and trigger codification completion, maked! - [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ infinite ]
, similar to code completion Parameter Aid is critical when working with libraries ( like the Flex Model ). It renders a sum-up of the parameters of the current method supplication. - [ ctrl ] + [ / ]
Exceedingly speedy style to comment/uncomment lines of codification - [ ctrl ] + [ cholecalciferol ]
Cancel the current line - [ alt ] + [ upwards ]
[ alt ] + [ downwardly ]
Go current line upward ( or downwardly ). Great for promptly going codification about. Too works with groupings of codification by spotlight multiple lines. - [ ctrl ] + [ ALT ] + [ upward ]
- Extra current ( or took ) lines. - [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ oxygen ]
- Organize Importations, essentially simply takes any unneeded importations.
One last cutoff that must be named
[ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ Liter ]
lists all crosscuts, hit [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ Litre ]
with the listing unfastened to open the editor.
With all that told, I sorely lose two things from my CodeGear/MSVS IDE 's. First is autoformatting. I cognise a great deal of people detest to hold the formatting hale on you, yet I bump it a great clip recoverer and maintains things nice and tidy. And yes I cognise that Occultation holds autoformatting features, but not for MXML/AS ( at least not that I can encounter, PLEASE allowed me cognise if I 'm incorrect ).
S is bookmarkers. I 'm employed to laying a bookmarker with [ ctrl ] + [ displacement ] + [ 1 ]
, so I can be anyplace else in the labor and hit [ ctrl ] + [ 1 ]
to spring to the bookmarker.
Really, do that three things - Refactoring Tools. This is another one where Java tools in Occultation hold the features, but Arsenic makes n't.
Oklahoma so this station begined as a speedy hit listing of my most used crosscuts, but I doed the fault of leaving the draft upwardly while I was working on a task. Each clip I utilise a cutoff I dropped it on the station, now it holds travelled from a speedy listing to a reasonably long listing... One of these years I 'll acquire how to be more timely with my stations to maintain them from being to long meandered...
So what are your favorite crosscuts?
