I'm using PhpStorm 10.0.4
When I start typing characters in project tool window it searchs for files containing typed text.
Is it possible to change this behavior so only files that begins with typed text would be matched?

AFAIK no. There are no GUI settings for this at all.
Plus, this Speed Search is used in many places/tool windows and search logic is the same.
P.S. If you need to search for files .. why not try more appropriate (in general sense) Navigate | File... instead?
Speed Search only finds items in already expanded nodes (as it's a basic search on already displayed text) .. but Navigate | File... will look for files everywhere in the project.
It's not possible directly but you can create and use a scope for that.
Open Settings and go the Appearance & Behaviour -> Scopes. Create a new scope, give it a name (let's say "My Files") and put file:*/c* in the Pattern edit box.
In the big list of files under the Pattern edit box you can preview its effects. The files that are included in the scope are colored in green, the directories that contain included files are colored in blue.
This simple pattern selects only the files whose name start with c, in all directories. You can use slightly more complex filters using wild cards, include or exclude entire directories etc. With a little practice you can create filters that match usual needs pretty well.
When you are pleased with the scope definition, close the Settings box and go back to the Project view. Click on the arrow next to Project and you'll get a list of views of the project files. All the scopes you created should be there. Select "My Files" and only the files (and directories) included in that scope will be displayed in the Project view.
It is not a dynamic filter, you have to work a little to set it up, but it is useful when you work on large projects, with thousands of files, and you need to hide the files not important for your task.

I like PhpStorm's ability to attach multiple projects to the current window:
I've noticed, however, that all classes declared in both projects are available in both projects, which can lead to duplicate declarations:
I understand how this can be useful at times, however I'd like to attach projects just to navigate easily between them (I prefer this to switching windows), while keeping them separate as if they were in separate windows.
Is this possible?
Currently IDE does not have "scoped indexing" that may be able to resolve this. Right now you would need to exclude such duplicate files or tell IDE to not to treat them as PHP so they do not get indexed as such.
Your current options:
Use Mark Directory As | Excluded via context menu in Project View panel (or manually via Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Directories) for a folder(s) from additional project.
Mark individual files as Plain Text via context menu in Project View panel. The downside: such "marking" is IDE-wide as far as I know, so the same file path will be excluded in another project as well.
Any other exclusion mechanic that is currently available (e.g. Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Editor | File Types | Ignore files and folders -- global as well and based on file name only and file will be completely ignored from all operations... so not really acceptable for your case).
Consider watching after https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-17646 (star/vote/comment) and related tickets to get notified on any progress.
If they are the same classes, have you thought about making a composer package for them? Would be easier to manage it all I think.
I just encountered an issue with a Labview project.
Background
The software in question is usually a standalone application, but for the sake of debugging purposes we found a way to run it in the Labview environment with the source files.
Issue
When we press the run command (which is not broken btw), it starts processing the files I guess, and at some point a folder explorer will pop up without further detail on what it is requesting. We have been trying to select the MAIN folder (where the MAIN.VI is), the SOURCE folder which contains all the VIs and subVIs of the project, but either way it just updates a log tab with the text "The application has stopped"(which I assume is due to us not selecting the correct file/folder).
I guess my main questions are,
Is there a way to tell what this pop up is expecting us to select?
Are there known function blocks which could be asking for a file/folder path?
Additional information*
A couple of months ago, someone knew this path and we have run it correctly, but he just forgot it, so that is why I am certain that it works this way. It runs in a Labview 13 environment.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Greetings.
Try searching the VI Hierarchy by name for likely culprits:
Open a VI or project and select View»VI Hierarchy to display the VI
Hierarchy window.
Initiate a search by typing the name of the item
you want to find anywhere in the window. As you type the text, the
search string appears, displaying the text as you type. LabVIEW
highlights one item at a time whose name begins with the search
string.
If there is more than one item with a name that begins with
the search string, press the Enter key to search for the next item
that matches the search string. Press the Shift-Enter keys to find
the previous item that matches the search string.
I'm pretty sure all the LabVIEW primitives that can display a file or folder dialog have either file or folder in their names but if that doesn't help you could also try save or write.
If you find more than one result, set breakpoints on them before running the code. When execution reaches the breakpoint it will halt and highlight the breakpoint position; you can then use the Step In / Step Over to check whether that's the node that triggers the dialog (and the Pause button to continue execution if not).
Any web project consists of lots of partials that are included into the main file. Very often IDE (PhpStorm for my case) doesn’t know where the including partial resides. The thing is sometimes we use absolute path (e.g. in AngularJS to specify where views’ or directive’s templates reside) and relative path in preprocessors’ sources (jade, stylus, coffee, etc.). And all these files can be stored somewhere in the folder structure.
Therefore very often you can’t to open the including file right from the main file using Ctrl+B.
I think there is a way to tell IDE where this file actually resides. Does anybody know how to cope with it?
If there is no way, I suppose we should ask the developer to solve it somehow.
Depending on the particular framework in which you're developing, a PhpStorm plugin might exist to make CTRL+B navigation possible. For instance, using the Symfony plugin (installed via Settings > Plugins), CTRL+B navigation into a partial template becomes possible in code like this:
return $this->render('hello/world/index.html.twig');
If a plugin is not available, try the following steps. It's not a perfect solution, but it's better than nothing! It's also extremely quick once you get the hang of it.
With your cursor inside the string containing the path and filename, use the 'Extend Selection' keyboard shortcut until the entire string is highlighted (excluding any wrapping single/double quotes). If you don't currently have the 'Extend Selection' action mapped, you can do so via Settings > Keymap.
Immediately use the 'Navigate to File' shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+N) to search for all files matching the path/filename contained in the string you previously highlighted.
A dropdown box will appear containing all matching files. Find the proper one and open it using ENTER.
I'm using PhpStorm 10.0.1. I want to exclude files in directories that match a pattern. I want this exclusion to remove the excluded files from the set of files that PhpStorm uses when - for example - finding duplicate definitions of classes.
I've gotten part of the way through the solution, which involves Scopes:
Open a project in PhpStorm
Go to Settings (File -> Settings)
Navigate to Appearance & Behavior -> Scopes
Create a scope to exclude the appropriate file(s).
Click the + icon
Select either Local or Shared
Give the scope a name
Enter an appropriate pattern
For example, to exclude files in directories that match *-b0*, enter !file:*-b0*/*
Click Exclude Recursively
Verify in the tree view that the appropriate file(s) are excluded.
Click OK.
This is where I'm stuck. I can't find any reference anywhere in the UI to that named scope - except in the settings dialog where I created it.
The documentation is no help:
https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/help/scopes.html - "Scopes" describes how to create scopes but not how to use them
https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/help/configuring-scopes-and-file-colors.html - "Configuring Scopes and File Colors" describes how to color files in a scope differently but not how to apply them to a project
How do I apply that scope to the current project?
(It may be the case that scopes are applied automatically. In that case, the Scopes dialog and the rest of PhpStorm disagree on what is included and what excluded and I'll need to file a bug.)
Scopes can be used in Project tool window - click the Project popup in upper left corner and choose the desired scope. They can only be used for search filtering (in Edit/Find/Find in path dialog), in Inspections profiles, file watchers, etc.
But note that choosing your scope in Project window is just a view option, files excluded from scope are NOT excluded from project - they will still be indexed, used in completion/navigation, etc. If you like to exclude certain files/folders completely, so that they are not included in file index, you need adding them to 'Ignore files and folders' in Settings | Editor | File Types. Folders can also be excluded using Mark directory as/Excluded
I've never heard of the ability to apply a custom scope globally. I believe they can only be used to allow specific components of PhpStorm (like code inspections & find/replace) to operate on a subset of your project's files. Edit: This is not accurate; please see the comments below.
This hacky workaround might just do the trick, if the files you'd like to exclude from your project are never going to change:
(a) Using the pattern you've already identified, create a new custom scope that specifically includes the undesirable files.
(b) Perform a very broad search against that scope (Find in Path > Scope > Custom > Custom Scopes), so that every undesired file is matched. You could potentially search for the text <?php, or use a regular expression like .+
(c) Create a new Favorites list, and add all of the search results to that list.
(d) From the Favorites window, highlight all of the files. Right click them and choose "Mark as plain text". This will prevent PhpStorm from indexing them, so they'll no longer be considered by the IDE's static code analysis.
I'm using NetBean's Compile on Save setting, and it's really handy when I'm editing a single file. But when I'm dealing with a pair of (or more) class files and am switching between the files, I have a problem:
The Task tab is nearly worthless since it is littered by HTML "error" messages(+) from many dozens of HTML files in the project that are generated by some external tool. The number of HTML errors swamps out any actual Java errors.
What I want is one of:
A way to tell NB to ignore the directory with the HTML files ("help").
A way to turn off HTML "errors" or even to specify HTML2.
A way to filter "Task" errors by file type, parent folder: all Java is under "com".
I've perused the settings and properties, but found nothing that helps.
<rant> Yet another reason I hate an IDE that use the "Take Everything in the Folder" approach.... </rant>
+ = The files are valid HTML but probably not XHTML. Plus, half the messages end abruptly, with something like: "Unexpected tag <TD> found, expecting one of
I found the answer, or at least one that works for me (NB 6.8, YMMV):
In the Tasks tab, click the filter button in the left,
Choose Edit...
In the Task List Filter dialog:
Click New
Enter a value for Name (such as "No Script Messages"),
Uncheck the Scripting Language Tasks option
Click OK.
If the filter doesn't work immediately, you may wish to close/open the Task window or Netbeans.
Hope that helps someone else.
You can go to Tools->options->Editor->Hint .
You can easily select the right options from there .
I want to use task list to only track my To Do list and It can be a real pain when Netbeans starts showing me #todos from included libraries and all sort of compile errors that I am not interested in. If your use case is like me (not interested in compile errors etc. in task window) then you can do following:- (Netbeans 7.1.2)
1) Tasks window | Right click filter | Edit
To edit the default filter.
Click default filter in left hand panel.
Right hand panel, under Type tab - un-check compile errors and issues
2) You can go to Tools | Options | Miscellaneous
Go to Tasks tab now.
Here you can add/remove the To Do strings that you want.
You can create your own custom todo string or make sure that only one of them is listed (what you use)
Now apply default filter and you will only see your #todo tasks. sane and sweet :D
