Netbeans has a nice set of keyboard shortcuts, but unfortunately, I can't seem to get all of them to work. Specifically, there's a keyboard shortcut for converting selected text to lowercase: Ctrl+U L. However, no matter how many times I try this (or variations on it), nothing happens I just get a 'ding' sound (it used to be that nothing happened). I check the Keymap option on Netbeans, and it shows that this is still the shortcut mapped to Ctrl+U L:
What am I doing wrong? How can I use this keyboard shortcut?
Note that Ctrl+; or Ctrl+Shift+; works just fine, among many other shortcuts.

Editing and Refactoring Code in NetBeans To add a keyboard shortcut for a command: Choose Tools | Options and click the Keymap panel. In the Actions panel, navigate to a command that you want to change, and click Add. In the Add Shortcut dialog box, type in the key combination that you want to use and click OK.
To use a keyboard shortcut to change between lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Capitalize Each Word, select the text and press SHIFT + F3 until the case you want is applied.
Ctrl + K then Ctrl + U for uppercase. Ctrl + K then Ctrl + L for lowercase.
The Netbeans equivalent of this shortcut is Alt + Shift + O, the go-to File. You can use this shortcut to open any file from Netbeans projects. One of the most used shortcuts by Java programmers is importing classes. In Eclipse, we use Ctrl + Shift + O or Organize import to import missing classes, interface and enums.
To activate this shortcut you have to hit Ctrl+U then release Ctrl and then hit L.
