Frequently Used PhpStorm Keyboard Shortcuts

Raw

Note: Some of these shortcuts have been remapped for my own convenience (Preferences->Keymap). These are Mac shortcuts, just use the Windows/Linux equivalent of the Cmd/Option/Ctrl/Del keys.

####Search, Go to, Navigation ####

Cmd + P - Search file

Cmd + Shift + O - Search everywhere

(I swapped the above two recently because I use Cmd + P to search for files most of the time).

Cmd + O - Open Class

Cmd + R - Go to Symbol

Cmd + L - Go to Line

Cmd + Shift + E - Navigate recently edited files

Cmd + Up - Navigate Folders (goodbye sidebar)

Cmd + Shift + F - Search for text in a folder or entire project

Cmd + Shift + Del - Go to last edit location (Thanks Laracasts)

IDE Goodness

Cmd + J - Insert Live Template (snippet)

Option + Enter - Show intention actions

Ctrl + T - Refactor This

Mothership

Cmd + Shift + A - The shortcut to all shortcuts

In PhpStorm 8 (Preview version), make your selection and use Ctrl + G to make multiple selections.

I've remapped it to Cmd + D to select word at caret (press multiple times to expand selection) and Cmd + Shift + D to select other occurrences.

Is there a shortcut that always takes you back to the code window. ie the current tab that is open? Say for example i'm on the Project Pane....

how about to toggle show/hide sidebar ?

adamdrake210 commented Dec 28, 2014

To toggle show/hide sidebar is Cmd + 1 in phpstorm

nicoladj77 commented May 13, 2015

How do you hide the sidebar in Windows?I'm using 8.0.3. Also, i can't find the equivalent of command + Up. With Alt + Home the navigation tree is selected ( look at the image )
