I use custom code snippet for Sublime Text like custom comments, function, reusable block code, CDN and more.. but I could not do that in WebStorm and PhpStorm IDE.
Here is my building block code snippet (comments) for Sublime Text:
/*============================
comments
============================*/
and this code blocks for HTML5 comments
<!-----------------------

Moreover I'm new user for JetBrains software. Can I use custom code snippet above in JetBrains software ?
It's called Live Templates in JetBrains IDEs.
Available at Settings/Preferences | Editor | Live Templates.
You can use existing Live Templates as is, alter them to your needs or create your own.
Creating own is better be done in own group -- they will be stored in separate config file so easier to share, no possible conflicts with built-in ones (easier to update between versions etc.). It also makes perfect sense to use separate group per language -- the same abbreviation can be used for different languages/context but abbreviation within the same group must be unique.
BTW -- I'd say -- do not edit built-ins at all -- just disable specific built-in template and create your own version of it in separate group. This way you can always see what fix/change devs have made in new IDE version etc.
Full official tutorial/how-to is available here: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Live+Templates+%28Snippets%29+in+PhpStorm

Finally I get a tips ! PhpStorm allows you to create your own live templates (code snippets) to optimise your workflows.
Open the settings dialog and head into Editor | Live Templates, you can see the available live templates grouped by language. To add a new template click the + (plus) button and select Live Template. Specify the abbreviation (the short bit of text you type that will be expanded to the full code snippet) and a description.
Then provide the full code snippet in the Template text field. You can include variables in the template in the format $<variable name>$, which will allow you to provide values when the template is expanded. PhpStorm recognises $END$ as a special variable indicating the final position of the cursor after the template has been expanded and values have been provided for all variables.
Next click the Define warning text to specify which language the template is for and optionally the context it is available in.
Now the template is ready to be used. Open a file and type the abbreviation that was specified earlier, then hit Tab to expand the template. The cursor will be positioned on the first variable, provide a value then hit Tab to keep moving through all available variables. The final position of the cursor will be the location of the $END$ variable.

Creating & Editing Live Templates
I don't think you can do this, however you can add custom tags in Settings > Editor > TODO.
//TODO & //FIXME are already implemented.
But this custom tags are not working for HTML.
Maybe you can find an extension to do that in Settings > Plugins.

I frequently use PhpStorm's Extract variable & method refactorings. Is there a way to add/extend functionality that could create a new template file from the selected code, prompt for desired template path, and create an include/require statement for that template?
I'm asking either for an entry point into coding this functionality, or extending existing functionality. Or maybe it's already available and I missed it.
As #Ástþór mentioned, there is no such way to change the refactoring templates.
You can use surround with live templates to emulate this behavior. This will not find duplicates and will not replace them as well, but may be it's close enough what you want.
Add a surround live template like this one. Open the editor with Ctrl+Alt+S:
Edit the variables in order to get a nicer UX:
Select the variable you want to extract and select Code > Surround with Live Templates from the menu or press Ctrl+Alt+J.
Adjust the templates to your needs.

I have a very important file at the level of my project which is called veiw.yml. I would like to color/highlight or put an icon on it, in order to make it more attrective for me. In other words I want color or add an icon on one of my yml file at the level of my project files, that match the exactly regex expression ^views.yml$.
Is there any way I could do the trick with phpstorm or change the phpstorm Atom Material Icons plugin configuration to add another icon to his iconslist?
Any idea, help would be appreciated.
There are many options that can be used based on what exactly you want to achieve (why you need to highlight such file -- maybe you do not need highlighting but want something else and you do not know about such possibility):
Just add the desired file(s) or folder(s) to the Favorites and use it instead of locating that file in a Project tree all the time.
NOTE: Bookmarks have now replaced Favorites that existed in earlier versions of the IDE.
You can bookmark specific file with Mnemonic Bookmark (0..9 mainly) and then open such a file with just one key press from anywhere. This will also add a special mark next to the file name.
NOTE: this is a per file thingy, no patterns.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/bookmarks.html#navigate-bookmarks
If it has to be a different color in the Project view panel... then just define custom scope at Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Scopes and then (once scope is fully saved) associate that scope with specific color at Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | File Colors (ensure that appropriate checkbox is selected, which is by default).
You will now have different backgrounds under such files in the Project View panel and other lists where file names are used.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/settings-file-colors.html
ProjectTree Color Highlighter plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/13951-projecttree-color-highlighter) -- allows assigning custom colors to custom files.
NOTE: does not support patterns, only manually assigning files. Therefore this can be treated as a Plus or as a Minus, depending on your needs.
Extra Icons plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11058-extra-icons). It allows assigning custom file icons based on folder or file name patterns. You can even bring your own icons.
NOTE: From the 2022.1 version it is a paid plugin now (only $5 USD per year but still).
I've created a bunch of snippets in Sublime Text 2, but I cant remember them all off the top of my head. I've seen in a number of tutorials that as people start typing their snippets tab-triggers it will start to provide a list of the matching snippets. I don't see this.
Is there a setting somewhere for this? Or do I need to create a special file (completions file?). For most snippets I have the <scope> commented out as I may use in a PHP or HTML file for example depending what I am working on.
Most of my snippets tab triggers start the same elq- prefix, so it would be very helpful if it were to start showing me the options as I type.
The setting auto_complete_selector controls when Sublime automatically offers the popup for possible completions. The default value for this setting is:
// Controls what scopes auto complete will be triggered in
"auto_complete_selector": "source - comment",
This means that it will automatically pop up for any file that's considered a source code file, except within a comment.
The scopes for the file types that you mention in your question are text scopes and not source scopes, which stops the popup from appearing.
One way around that would be to manually invoke the auto complete panel by using the appropriate key binding, which by default is Alt+/ on Linux or Ctrl+Space on Windows/OSX. When you do that, the popup for possible completions at this point is manually displayed.
To allow this to work more automatically, you would need to modify the setting for auto_complete_selector to be more appropriate for your situation.
To do that you could select Preferences > Settings - User from the menu and add or modify the auto_complete_selector setting as follows:
"auto_complete_selector": "source - comment, text.html",
This says that the selector should always be displayed in source files except inside comments (like the default) and also within HTML files.
You could also use text instead of text.html if you want it to work in all text files of all types, although this would possibly get quite annoying while working with plain text files. Substitute an appropriate scope or set of scopes here as appropriate to dial in the places you want this to be automatically offered.
PhpStorm can apply code style rules for specific languages with the Reformat Code command. PhpStorm can also recognize a language embedded within a file of another language (known in PhpStorm as 'Language Injection'). So, I expect that a language would be subject to its code style rules wherever the language is used -- whether embedded or in its own file.
I've found that this works as expected for css/js within an html file, but not for language injections within PHP files. PhpStorm will recognize css within a heredoc, and html as a heredoc and in single- and double- quoted strings -- yet reformatting does not work in any of these cases.
Short of using an intermediary file to reformat the code, how can I get PhpStorm to reformat these sections of code? I am using PhpStorm 6.0.3 for Mac.
Their documentation states:
PhpStorm supports full coding assistance for:
CSS and JavaScript in an HTML or XML file.
CSS, JavaScript, and SQL outside PHP code blocks and inside PHP string literals.
The second bullet seems only half true, as css/js/sql are recognized but not subjected to code styles inside PHP string literals. And injected html is not specified; but between PhpStorm recognizing the language injections and its capability to apply code styles to an arbitrary selection, all the pieces for formatting embedded languages seem to be there. What am I missing?
To reformat injected code according to PhpStorm code styles Preferences, select the injected code and open the Intention Actions list (Alt+Enter), and select "Edit __ Fragment" to edit it in it's own dedicated window (documentation). In this window, code formatting will work as expected.
I write an application and inside of HTML code I have custom tags (of course these tags are parsed on server side and end user gets them as valid HTML code). Example of custom tag usage:
<html>
<body>
...
<Gallery type="grid" title="My Gallery" />
...
</body>
</html>
1.) How can I have eclipse recognize my custom tags inside of HTML code and add syntax highlighting to them?
2.) How can I add auto-suggestions to my custom tags? For example if I type "<Gallery " press "Ctrl+Space" - in the list of available attributes it shows me "type" and "title" and if I type "<Gallery type=" press "Ctrl+Space" I would see list of available values only for tag "Gallery" and its attribute "type".
Thanks in advance!
Not really what you want, but maybe it helps you:
You can try the Aptana Plug-in for Eclipse. It allows to write your own regular expression for HTML validation, so a custom tag would be ignored by the validator.
E.g.:
.gallery.
Eclipse allows you to add simple auto-suggestions via Templates. On
Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo) + PHP Dev Tools (PDT) 3.0.0: Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Templates
Sadly, there is no easy way: you have to roll your own parser for this, and then add both your extra elements and the base grammar (HTML) to it.
If you have your parser, you could use it to do syntax highlighting (strictly speaking, for that simple lexing is enough); and a good parser can support content assist (auto-suggestions in your terminology).
Caveats:
Creating a parser for HTML is not an easy task. Maybe by aiming at a more often used subset is feasible.
If a parser exists, the editor parts are still hard to get well.
Some help on the other hand: you could use some text editor generators to ease your work:
Eclipse IMP http://www.eclipse.org/imp/ can in theory handle any type of parser, but currently it is most optimized for LPG. The documentation is scarce, but the developers are helpful in the forums.
Xtext http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/ got quite a hype for creating text editors for DSLs. The generated editors are quite nice out of the box, but is not the best solution for large files. Has a really helpful developer community.
EMFText http://www.emftext.org/index.php/EMFText is a lesser known entity - I don't know it in details, but I guess, it is similar to Xtext.
I know its been a long time since this Q was asked,
but I hope this might help others like myself that reach this in search of a solution.
So, When using Eclipse (Mars.1 Release (4.5.1) - and possibly earlier - I did not check).
Go to Window - Prefrences
Then in the dialog that opens go to Web - HTML Files - Editor - Validation.
On the right side:
under Ignore specified element names in validation and enter the list of custom elements you use. (e.g. Gallery,tab,tabset,my-element-directives-*)
you might also like to go under Ignore specified attribute names in validation do the same for your custom attributes.(e.g. ng-*,my-attr-directives-*)
Two things to note:
After letting eclipse do a full validation you must also close the file and reopen it to have the warnings removed from the source code.
Using this method would ignore those attributes under any element. I don't think there is a simple way to tell it to ignore some-attribute only if its a child of some-element.
I find templates are an ok alternative but let's see if we can encourage a more robust solution; please take a moment and vote for this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422584
You need to add a new HTML template.To add a new template, complete the following steps:
1) From the Window menu, select Preferences.
2) In the Preferences page, select Web and XML > HTML Files > HTML Templates.
3) Click New.
4) Enter the new template name and a brief description of the template.
5) Using the Context drop-down list, specify the context in which the template is available.
6) In the Pattern field, enter the appropriate tags, attributes, or attribute values (the content of the template) to be inserted by content assist.
7) If you want to insert a variable, click the Variable button and select the variable to be inserted. For example, the word_selection variable indicates the word that is selected at the beginning of template insertion, and the cursor variable determines where the cursor will be after the template is inserted in the HTML document.
8) Click OK to save the new template.
You can edit, remove, import, or export a template by using the same Preferences page.
