Interactions Between EDT Keypad and NetBeans Functionality

This section explains two special cases of how EDT Editor keybindings interact with NetBeans keybindings.

Toggling Insert and Overwrite Mode

Interchangeable Actions

 

Caution When using EDT commands for editing, you should be aware that the context of that editing session is still subject to the Java-based Netbeans environment. In some cases, a NetBeans "feature" may come as a surprise to an EDT user. For example, when text is selected, any additional text insertion causes that selected text to be deleted. In a standard EDT Editor, the additional text insertion would just extend the selected region. (See Interchangeable Actions.)
