NetBeans shortcut key for collapsing/expanding a method

JAVA - NETBEANS

This is an IDE question

I am always working with collapsed methods, because I want to be able to see my methods all together. This is a little time consuming because I have to use the mouse to scroll up to the declaration of the method and click on the - (minus) icon. And then respectively go to the method I want to work on and click on the + (plus) icon.

Is there a way through a keyboard shortcut to do the collapse (and respectively the expand)?

I copied a piece from http://wiki.netbeans.org/KeymapProfileFor60.

The first option is for Win/Lin and the second for Mac.

Just to offer an alternative, have you considered using the Navigator View to navigate within the members instead? I usually just leave all methods uncollapsed, and double click on the method in the Navigator view to go to that method. What's nice about the Navigator View are the icons which provide visual indicators of the type and visibility of methods and fields.
