Trying to create a Live Template in PhpStorm by highlighting a block of text, going to Tools > Save as Live Template.
When I do this, nothing happens. The Live Template dialog does not open and there is no other indication of an error. I can manually open the Live Template menu and add one there.
Is there a setting or configuration that is needed for this to be enabled?
PhpStorm 2017.1.4 on Windows 10
You can turn a highlighted block into a live template, but you need to make sure that there is no leading whitespace in your selected text, or it won't do anything, as explained in the original question.
This is likely a bug, see the issue in the comments to track resolution.

I have tried to delete config.json file, also tried to turno on every possible option for auto-close and auto-complete tags in options, but nothing worked.
And Sublime it's working fine. I downloaded plugin to transfer Sublime confing into Visual Studio Code but without success. Hope you can help me out, since i've been trying to fix this problem 3 hours now.
I had the same problem, then I noticed that my select language mode was something like Django HTML. Solved after changing it.
You might have opened a file before that changed the language mode. So first, check the language shown at the bottom-right of the VS Code window (status bar), then follow the steps bellow.
Go to settings (or edit the settins.json file) and search emmet.includeLanguages, then press add item under Emmet: Include Languages. input the language you are using in item field and html in value field.
Question
The editor brackets can do that. Supposed that, when I click my html tag in my source code file, the browser would automatically highlight the section/div in the broswer like google chrome developer tools.
Step 1
Click my tag in my source code file
Step 2
the live server will automatically focus on the section I want
How could I make it in VSCode?
VS Code does not have a built-in live server. Whatever extension you are using for live server can implement this, however I am not aware of any ones that do currently. Consider filing a feature request against them for this
Look at Five Server extension.
I used to love this Live Preview of Brackets, mainly for two unique features unlike many other editors and extensions:
It shows the preview live, literally. It doesn’t wait for file save to show the changes.
Highlights the section in the preview, corresponding to the html tag in which the cursor is placed currently.
I have been looking for a similar VS Code extension for a while.
Finally found it, JUST NOW.
When I try and change my current CSS or add new CSS to my style-sheet no change shows up (tags are still being styled by the old unchanged code).
For example, if I delete the contents of a class and I go into chrome debug tool using F12, I can see that the contents which I deleted are still showing up - even if I clear the cache by pressing Ctrl+Shift+R, OR by pressing Ctrl+F5!
All the other files of my website seem to be updating correctly, so if I use inline styles it will update correctly.
Strangely when I go into my websites control panel and manually download the CSS style-sheet from my server I can see that the code has indeed being updated with the new code, this is weird because upon inspecting it with F12, I can still see the old code with no changes.
I am using Microsoft Webmatrix to do my coding.
I am using the Chrome Web browser.
I am using Hostgator hosting.
I've exhausted all my trouble shooting options and have been beat by something that by all means should not occur. I think I've had a problem like this before and I think that it was solved by just waiting a day for whatever magic to work but I shouldn't have to wait. A problem like this is absolutely unacceptable in a live environment. Any ideas of what could be causing this?
FIXED!
changed: https://example.com/app/source/css/main.css
to this: https://example.com/app/source/css/main.css?v=1
You could try ctrl + shift + r (on a PC) to hard reset the browser and make sure the cache isn't displaying old CSS.
One thing is to verify you are editing the correct file. I managed to have that issue one time when I had two files named the same, but one was outside the folder with the index.html and that was the one I was editing.
Add ?v=1 behind the URL of the CSS link in the head, which will force using a non-cached version, because of the different (new) file name. The number should be unique, so if you want to use this in the future, make sure to replace the 1.
The Chrome "Inspect element" HTML editor is very easy to use with lots of cool features, I love the collapsible elements, highlighting, and live updates so I can see exactly what's happening. Usually when I'm writing I'll create an empty file and open it in Chrome so I can start there. Unfortunately I have to copy everything to the document whenever I want to save and if I accidentally click on a link I lose everything. Is there an extension or something I can use to save the file (Maybe even to google drive?) I've recently accidentally lost a bunch of work a couple times in a row so I need to change something. I've tried brackets, atom.io, shiftedit, and codepen but none of them have the convenience and features of Chrome's console.
Thanks
You can use the Workspaces feature to work with files from DevTools so changes will persist to your computer automatically. Works with all source file types.
Check out Snippets in Chrome DevTools. The code snippets are stored in the browser, and you can run them on any page/site. I find them very useful myself.
You see the DOM in the "Elements" panel. The page may have JS that changes the DOM Tree.
So what you see in the Elements panel is not the source HTML. Therefore you can't just change things in the elements panel and save the changes to your HTML file.
What I'm trying to do is to save the changes I make to CSS and HTML on different sites with Firebug.
Just to be clear, I don't expect Firebug to upload the changes to the server via FTP or anything. I just want to save the changes locally, so only I will be able to see them.
For example I've seen a few Firefox/Chrome extensions that add a download button under every video on Youtube, so I know it's possible to do that somehow.
If you have a different way to achieve what I'm trying to do, I'll be glad to hear about it.
(It doesn't have to be with Firebug.)
Thanks in advance!
If you don't mind using Web Developer Toolbar it's easy to save changes made to the DOM (and CSS).
When you install the toolbar, you'll get a "View Source" menu, click on that and choose "View generated source". Then just copy and paste that into a .html file.
You did not say if you alter your HTML or CSS, if CSS, FireFile is a very good addon for this.
Edit, with some Googling, i found FireDiff, which states that it can export changes made in Firebug, i have not tested it bit it's worth checking out.
You could try using Greasemonkey.
It has support for adding custom scripts that are run whenever you load a page (linked to which pages it should load on) and that can make changes to the page dynamically.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
The http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ web developer toolbar will let you add a user style sheet to a site which should achieve your goals.
This may or may not be exactly what you're asking for, but you can download the extension FireDiff in order to save changes made with FireBug. I made a little tutorial on how to do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4OmZLX2zd4
I have a somewhat simlar use-case that I solved differently. I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for or not. I'll describe the behavior and if that is helpful I'll explain exactly how I implemented it.
I changed the code that execute when you click "Run" (or Ctrl+Enter) to check to see if the first line of the code is a hard-coded string //LoadFromFile:<file path>. If it is, and the file exists then I pull the file off of the local file system and run it instead of executing the code in the console window. This way I can use an external text editor to write code.
