[...] Also, if you are using Flex Gumbo, aka Flash Builder, you should print up this shortcut sheet (made by eromdesign.com)! [...]

I am so glad you put this list together! I have been searching for a list like this and the only ones that i come across are for PC’s.

BTW- to take a screen shot is
Command shift 4

Very Nice. Thanks! For some shortcuts the command key doesn’t work (Dynamic Help)… don’t know why and others it worked fine (Compile and Run). No biggie… just having the list hand is a bonus.

I did noticed that some shortcuts collide (many related to the F1-F12 keys) with the Mac OS and some are just not applicable to Flex, unfortunately I didn’t keep track of the shortcuts that didn’t work.

In general I think that Flex Builder have gone a long way and improved the experience in Eclipse, but it is not yet as rich as some of the other plugins such as the Java plugin or Aptana.

Here’s couple of additional improvement I suggest:

1. I think that in Flex 4 it would be nice to add the unit testing shortcuts, I have used the FlexUnit plugin that was added to Gumbo, it would be nice to have “Run FlexUnit test unit”.

2. I often create automated ant task and include the option to add a header templates like this:

/*


 Copyright (c) 2009 Company, Inc., All Rights Reserved 
 @author   AuthorName

 @contact  EmailAddress

 @project  ProjectName
 @internal

*/

It would be great to be able to create templates for each ActionScript class that we create in Flex.

3. One shortcut that do come in my mind that I would change is the shortcut for “Debug and run Flex/AIR application” - would be nice to match to Flash Professional

Although we can change them ourselves in Eclipse, it would be nice to have that “out of the box” with these settings.

I couldn’t find very useful command Ctrl O (give you a quick outline of the current file) in the list.

For SteveH, it would really be nice if we can consistently use Command or Ctrl key. For example on windows, we can use Ctrl Shift R for resources and Ctrl O for outline view. On Mac, for resource we need to switch Ctrl to Command, but not for outline view.

All and all, this is a good list. Another tip is you can use Command Shift L to have a glance all the shortcut inside Eclipse.

Great list

We’re thinking a lot about keyboard shortcuts these days. Are there any on the FB list that don’t make sense to you… don’t align well with other Adobe tools you use, or don’t align well to expected system behavior?
