Notice on the right side of the New Project menu item that there’s a Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut keystroke
combination listed in case you want to memorize it.
If you want to use this keyboard shortcut to invoke the New Project series of dialogs, hold down the Ctrl
and Shift keys on your keyboard (both at the same time), and while they are depressed (held down), hit the
N key. This will do the same thing as selecting the File ➤ New Project menu sequence using your mouse.
The first dialog in the series is the Choose Project dialog and is shown on the right side of Figure 6-5.
Since you are going to use the powerful JavaFX new media engine in your game, select the JavaFX category
from the list of all of the programming language categories in the Categories selector pane on the left,
labeled with a red number 2 for step 2.

of dialogs
