And from that discussion it appears that better signposting to "new" users that they need to hold down CTRL or CMD to make anything clickable in the editor is still something we're missing out on! :-) Ken, that would actually be a useful thing to highlight early in your book, as it's a key part of navigation around code and resources in the editor. And there's a very obvious reason you don't want a normal click to navigate anywhere in a text editor. This header change came from https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2960 Unfortunately, that only partly made this "easier", because it also removed the important fact that these things are managed from Tools / Templates and not Tools / Options. In particular, Tools / Templates - Licenses / Default License - Open in Editor is I think what you're looking for? It's important to consider that these are also brandable. If one of the reasons for the current text is still VSNetBeans, and that is not working for the IDE, they do not have to be the same.
