Most GUIs, including Netbeans, allow you to select a word by double-clicking on it and an entire line by triple-clicking on it.

OR

selection-end-line (Shift+End) selection-down (SHift+Down) for as many lines as you want.

`triple-clicking` is ok...except for the fact is not so practical like `command + someLetter`. – underscore666 May 15 '12 at 12:47
Shift+End, it will select the complete line – muneebShabbir May 15 '12 at 12:49
Not for mac users... on osx to emulate `end key` I have to make `command + arrow down`. Then If I press also `Shift` I get the line duplicated. – underscore666 May 15 '12 at 12:57

Shift+End only works if you're at the start of the line... so really it would be Home then Shift + End. @underscore666 you could type End then Shift + Home maybe? – user3640967 Feb 05 '16 at 11:35

I've been using Netbeans for a few months.

Ctrl + c will copy the entire line without selecting it.

Ctrl + e will delete the line without selecting it.

Ctrl + Shift + down or up arrows will duplicate the line.

I am late comer to this post, but with a solution. In netbeans 8.x, go to Tools -> Options -> Keymap. In that, search for Select Line. You will get an entry there. Under the field Shortcut, you can give your convenient shortcut. There is no shortcut by default
