Love Thy Flex Builder Keyboard Shortcuts

It never ceases to amaze me how after all the time I spend using Adobe’s tools, they always have a few more features that I’m not using but should be. So every now and then I go brush up on the keyboard shortcuts in Flex Builder, so here are a few highlights (Command = CTRL if you’re on Windows):

• CTRL + 0 (even on Mac) – Quick Outline.  Hit this, then start typing to jump right to any variable or method definition in the class
• Shift + Command + R – Open Resource.  Hit this, then start typing any file name to open it.  Works on all file types in your project
• Command + L – Go To Line.  Opens a dialog where you type in a line number
• Shift + Command + C – Puts a block comment around the selected text
  

Strangely there doesn’t seem to be a definitive guide to shortcuts in FB, even the LiveDocs look rather incomplete:

But a search for “flex builder keyboard shortcuts” returns results from tons of blogs.  Here are a few more gems that weren’t in the LiveDocs:

• Command + D – Deletes a line
• Command + / – Comment/Uncomment a line
• Shift + Command + D – Inserts an ASDoc-style comment, including parameter and return declarations!
• Shift + Command + L – Opens an outline of all the keyboard shortcuts available
  

Also, if any of these don’t suit you, you can always go change them!  In the main menu, click Flex Builder -> Preferences -> General -> Keys (or just type “Keys” in the filter).  Coincidentally, this is the most definitive list I could find.

What keyboard shortcuts do you use that you can’t live without?
