NetBeans – Reformat text
January 13, 2011

The NetBeans IDE has a great shortcut for reformatting sourcecode. Simply hit ⌃⇧F (ctrl shift f), and all the sourcecode in the current file will be reformatted. This is a great feature, and I only stumbled upon it through a StackOverflow search.

The other time it’s useful is when working on a project where someone is using very large tab settings (e.g. 8 spaces per tab instead of 4). This can make it very difficult to read. By invoking this command, you’ll put the code into a much more readable format.
