PHP code completion is very nice but believe it or not I find the code complete in html and less way more beneficial. So when I start editing I just open terminal run grunt watch and then open a new terminal tab for anything else I may need.

We use grunt for all our js and css and have a simple watch/reload task. Maybe I want to diff the file, again command + t type annotate. As an example I like splitting the window so I just “command + t” type vertical and BAM the action shows and it splits. This is probably why I don’t enjoy VIM or anything else that requires me to learn key maps. I really like the actions searching because I have a mental block and can never remember them. You can find files, classes, actions and preferences. This is way more powerful than Sublime though. I have this mapped to “command + t” to match Sublime but the original is a Double-Shift. Find AnythingĪnother huge feature is the search everywhere. My personal preference is to visually commit so I only use the terminal when I have small changes. Or if you are old school you can just open the terminal tab.

🙂Ĭommitting is also something I really like doing without having to leave my editor. Maybe one day some one will integrate Trello. At UserScape we do a lot with Trello and only use GitHub Issues for bugs so I don’t get to use this as much I would like. I really like opening issues right in the ide and it creating a new branch/workplace. I have found the git and github integration brilliant. Here is my mini review on what I’ve found in the few months of using PhpStorm. PhpStorm has a lot of nice features that you don’t realize sublime is missing until you switch. I do keep Sublime around for quick editing, writing blog posts, but I haven’t missed it otherwise. Display the query from a Filament TableĪ few months back I retired Sublime Text from my day to day coding and have since switched to using PhpStorm as my go to editor.
