SHIFT+ALT+ENTER, a cool NetBeans shortcut

Today accidentally I find a coll shortcut in NetBeans, it do something fun, if you press ALT+SHIFT+ENTER IDE switch to full screen, it will remove Title bar, status bar, and toolbar to give you a little more space when you are writing your code.

Here is an image of netbeans in this mode, you will find it usefull.

Also If you are looking for some NetBeans sample you can take a look at NetBeans IDE Sample Applications which is a good start point for you to find some ready to run samples for different platform from java SE to RoR which is fully supported in NetBeans 6.

• Doesn't work for me.... perhaps you should mention which OS and which NB version.

• Sorry, I forget to mention them. I test it in both windows and Linux. Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu 7.04
  I am using NetBeans 6 development builds.
  In home, which I am writing the blog from, I have Linux version which is NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 070522)
  Hope it helps

• That'd be like CTRL+ALT+F11 with IntelliJ IDEA then :-)
