Are you setting the NCARG_ROOT environment variable on your LINUX machine?  What does the following report:

   printenv NCARG_ROOT

We did not write the NetBeans plugin, so I don't know how to tell you to change the CTRL+SPACE. You might trying writing to the NetBeans folks about this.

I just googled "ctrl space netbeans" and found this information:

Have you installed CYGWIN on your Windows computer? If so, you can run UNIX editors like "vi" or "emacs" under a Cygwin window to edit NCL scxripts. If you install Cygwin/X, then you could run NCL on your Windows box under Cygwin/X.

If you want to edit NCL scripts under Windows directly, you will need to make sure that whatever program you use, like Word, you save it in plain text format, and not WORD format.
NCL cannot execute a Word-created file.
