Is it possible to search in PhpStorm debugger view? - phpstorm

Like in topic, is there any option to find something in PhpStorm Debugger view?
For example I want to find element 39001421 in:
How I can achieve this?

I don't think a simple Ctrl-F works here. Here's one way to do it.
When you hit your breakpoint, press Alt-F8 or from the menu, choose Run -> Evaluate expression. In the window that opens, simply input the expression you would like to evaluate; in your case, something like
$items[39001421]
You'll get the value you're looking for at the bottom of the window.

#LazyOne Did a great job. With his help i think that i have found most effectively way to find something in PhpStorm debugger view. (if you are curious how we were looking for that answer please read comments beneath first post)
Firstly You should shut off variable adress view. (picture 1)
Secondly You should ensure that You have got "Sort Values Alphabetically" option sellected. (dropdown menu inside "gear" icon, picture 2)
Thirdly You should expand what You want to looking in (picture 3)
Next, You can type what You want to search for, If You don't find what you want to find, simply press up or down arrow to show next "occurence".

How to stop jumping to xPath hit on search - Chrome Inspect Elements

In my work I write a lot of locators to elements on websites. So I will inspect the element and then manually construct an xPath matching it.
What is driving me crazy is that when using the ctrl+f search bar to construct/verify the locator it jumps to the first element as soon as it gets any sort of match. So if I start writing '//div' and is intending to continue it, it still jumps to the very first div in the code and the element I was trying to construct a locator for disappears from view. Or I will have to start constructing it from the back etc just so it won't find a match until I am done, which just complicates it.
Is there any way of disabling the automatic search? So that it only does the match when pressing enter, or something similar. I have looked through the settings but can't find any way.
Please help, it is driving me insane.
Was running into this same issue and found something that might help.
In Devtools > Settings > Preferences > Global > "Search as you type" checkbox.
Just uncheck that setting and the selector won't match until you hit Enter.

Why is Sublime Text context menu disabled (image below)

I have installed HTML-CSS-JS Prettify package in Sublime Text 3 (on Ubuntu 18.4).
The image below shows that it appears on the context menu. However, when I select its context menu (the second context menu) has all options greyed out. I can't find a explanation anywhere and would appreciate knowing how to enable it.
If it is any use the "Anaconda" selection is also all greyed out when I select it. Nodejs is not.
Many thanks.
Menu items appear disabled for a couple of different reasons.
The first (and most common) is that when a menu is about to be displayed, Sublime asks every command bound to an item available in the menu if it should be enabled right now or not, and the command can decide to disable itself if it currently doesn't apply.
The second reason is that the command bound to the menu item is currently missing. For people using packages and not creating them themselves, that generally means that there's something wrong with the plugin that provides the command, such as it not loading for some reason.
In this case, based on the items in there it seems more likely that the second case is what's getting you here.
In order to check that, use View > Show Console or the associated key binding and see if there are any messages that look like a package didn't load for some reason. If so, resolving whatever issue that is should get things working.

How to activate the main window of PhpStorm after clicking its floating Find in Path window

Let me explain the situation.
I need to copy a lot of instances of a text inside a project of PhpStorm. So, I perform a 'Find in Path' action and a floating window appears with the matching results.
Now my problem is that after copying once from the floating window, if I click on another app window, then PhpStorm's main window/PhpStorm itself go to background, then if I want to copy text from the floating window again, I can not use any keyboard shortcut, I can not modify any line in the floating window because PhpStorm stays in background/inactive-mode even if I click on its floating window.
If I click anywhere in the PhpStorm except the main top-white bar of PhpStorm, then the floating window disappear, which causes me to perform the search again.
It is reducing my productivity a lot. Is there any way to make the PhpStorm active or bring it foreground when clicking its floated search window?
Please see the screenshot:

You are approaching the problem from the a bit wrong angle. There is a better solution than fighting the focus/foreground state.
There is a button in the bottom right corner of "Find in Path" window ("Open in Find" it says on your screenshot) -- click it and it will open search results in traditional / standard Search Results tool window (with grouping by folders/files, preview area etc)... so no floating and no auto closing on clicking somewhere.
P.S. Lots of people forgetting that results shown in this new "Find in Path" dialog/popup is still just a preview (TOP 100 matches only). Super functional (you can edit and stuff) but still preview only. This mainly applies to those who remember the way how this dialog (back then it was dialog window) looked before redesign (now it's more of a popup).
Because of the way how it is all presented now (results occupy majority of the popup space) people somehow automatically forgetting about "traditional" way of searching (clicking actual "Find" button to get search working) and focusing only on what they see on a screen right now.
This new "Find in Path" dialog/popup adds a lot of convenience for sure (you typed search text and results are straight away before your eyes). At the same time quite often you may see/hear "it does not show me all results" frustrated comments (as it shows top 100 .. and a single file may have 100+ hits in some cases) and alike. JetBrains needs to improve UX a bit in this area for sure.

How to disable the annoying NetBeans auto-suggest while typing

When I am typing in NetBeans 8.2, whether it is a HTML paragraph or something like an input field, this annoying auto-suggest feature keeps on popping up. It is really annoying when I try to press enter to start a new line as it will insert a load of code when I press enter, since 'Button' is automatically highlighted.
I've included a screenshot of the problem below...
How can I disable this autocorrect feature. I don't want to disable autoorrect for PHP or when actually setting up a HTML tag (so I want to use it in a situation like this... <input type="autocorrect displays here" />, but not when typing anything else).
Sorry if I haven't explained myself very well, I can't really think of a good way to describe my problem. Please, leave a commend if you need to know more.
Thanks :)
PS: I can't find any other answers on the internet because I don't know what this is called, since I want this specific auto-suggest to disappear, so please direct me to another answer and I'll delete this question if the answer is appropriate.
PPS: I think the palette may have something to do with it but I can't be sure.
I finally found the solution for this annoying problem:
Simply go to Tools/Palette/Code Clips and remove everything from Palette (all folders and items).
Now the problem is gone!
If you go into NetBeans > Tools > Options > Editor > Code Completion, you can check or uncheck "Auto Popup Completion Window" for whatever Languages you want.
If you move over to the Code Templates tab, you can also customize the specific autocomplete rules for each Language. That way, you can leave certain ones in that you find helpful and remove ones that you find bothersome.
Today I finally had enought of these * autocompletes in my * code.
Found my way thru Google to this question and found no comfort from the answers.
But this is how I did it:
Open Code Clips -manager (Tools > Palette > Code Clips)
Select all HTML-related and click "Remove"
Profit
Apache Netbeans 12.1.
Palette > Code Clips > Remove -- does not work.
NetBeans > Tools > Options > Editor > Code Completion > Disable "Auto popup completion window" -- does work.
In NetBeans 12, disabling the Auto Popup Completion Window option for HTML does not solve the problem when editing PHP files, the popup shows up whenever Tab is pressed in HTML portions of code.
The solution is to keep the Auto Popup Completion Window active for All Languages, then switch to the Code Templates tab, select Language: HTML, remove all templates from the list, and voilá. No more HTML popup suggestions, anywhere, ever. Only the good old PHP suggestions will remain active.

Sublime Text 2 'Find in Files' open drawer at bottom rather than displaying results in a tab

Need help on this one! When I used to use the 'Find in Files' feature it would display the result in a tab so I could go back to reference it later.
For some reason, one day it switched so that the results open up in a drawer at the bottom of the sublime window.
This is not ideal because it takes up window real estate.
it's aggravating to have to go and toggle the results panel every time I need to reference the results. Would be much easier if it was in a tab.
I've tried looking in all my preferences and nothing seems different so I'm lost on this one.
Found it! Turns out it is the 'Use Buffer' Button on 'Find in Files' looks like I had mistakenly hit that on a search.
