Visual Studio is a great IDE and due to its market dominance it is likely that programmers are familiar with the keyboard shortcuts. To make the transition to NetBeans as painless as possible, @0xseantasker took the time to map keyboard shortcuts to make them as similar as possible. The keyboard shortcuts are mapped as though Visual Studio + Visual Asset were in use. The following configuration files are available. Visual Studio + Visual Assist key-map + suggested colours + misc settings {F53} Visual Studio + Visual Assist key-map only {F54} To use these, go to "Tools -> Options" and press the Import button to import the settings. As of this writing, Netbeans 8.0 is also available. It is unknown if the configuration files are valid for Netbeans 8.0. Using NetBeans 8.0 should not make any difference to your build output as the IDE is independent of the tools. The only reason NetBeans 7.4 files are provided here is because it is the most recent tested version that is in use.
