To duplicate a file I'm currently right clicking copy and then pasting on the 'parent' folder. Thats not exactly perfect especially if the 'parent' directory is several screen scrolls up.

Is there a keyboard or whatever short cut to make a duplicate of the selected file?

If you're making copies of the same file multiple times you should set that file as a template.

Right click on it and click set as template.

Now, besides that, there isn't any integrated funcionality to speed up copying of files unless you open a separate file browser and use that for quick copy-and-paste and then just refresh your project in NetBeans using F5.

Cheers for the reply. Files are different so it looks like I'll have to look outside netbeans. – zaf Dec 2 '10 at 19:58
