Netbeans - custom shortcut to create HTML elements

I've been trying out Netbeans PHP stuff lately, over from Webuilder. In Webuilder, SHIFT+ENTER will make a <br /> element, while SHIFT+SPACE will make a &nbsp;.

Turns out this is really handy and I miss it in Netbeans. Is there a way to get this functionality somehow?

The Code Templates feature might also be useful (especially for bigger chunks of code, like a class definition):

Tools > Options > Editor > Code Templates

You just have to click on Edit -> Start Macro Recording then you have to type in <br /> and afterwards click on Edit -> Stop Macro Recording. In the next window you can assign a name and shortcut to your Macro

Edit: And remove to shortcut for Start new Line in Tools -> Options -> Keymap because it is interfering

You can create macros, and assign a shortcut to the macro.
