I am currently working on a controller file for a Phalcon project. I like how PhpStorm gives you autocomplete suggestions when writing a src or href value in an HTML file. I was wondering, is possible to enable autocomplete suggestions when adding resources in a controller?
This is what happens when I force autocomplete suggestions(Ctrl + Space)
This is what I would like to happen.
EDIT: I should also note that I have marked the folder, containing all my resources(ie. CSS, javascript, and images), as the "Resource root".

Unfortunately there is no real way of automatically providing such functionality in random string as it's hard to guess that file path is expected in this particular place (function parameters is different case -- here some hinting mechanics (special annotation) may work).
But .. you can forcibly enable it manually for each particular place (should last until file or project is closed):
Have some code, e.g. $someVar = ['css' => 'aaa'];
Place caret inside aaa string (it has to be 3 or more characters, based on my observations, otherwise option in #4 will not be present -- must be some sort of optimisation/limitation from IDE side)
Invoke shortcut to bring "Quick Fix" menu (Alt + Enter on Windows)
Choose Inject language or reference from appeared menu
Choose File Reference from next menu
Start using it (Ctrl + Space)

I am developing an interactive software for thermodynamic calculations using an html help file with "anchor/target" features to select the appropriate part of the help file when the user types a ? as answer to a question.
This works well but at present a new browser window is opened each time the user types a "?". I would prefer to start a new tag if there already is a browser window opened.
At present my program activate the help by creating a character with the content: browser "file:helpfile#target"
and then call the Fortran subroutine execute_system_command(character).
"browser" can be firefox or whatever is the preferred browser by the user (on Mac including path);
"helpfile" contains the path and name of the my html help file;
"target" is a text which depend on the question asked by the software to localize the appropriate help text.
How can I modify this so I open a new tag in the browser (if it is already opened) rather than starting a new browser window?
Maybe something like "target=_blank" can be added?
My program is written in the new Fortran standard so I have no facilities that might be available in Java or Python. It must work using different browsers on different OS.
As #Vladimir pointed out I ment a "tab", there are so many terms. But the answers I had made me reconsider which browser I could use. And I made some new discoveries.
On Windows I used the old Explorer because the path to Firefox contains a space and when I tried to start Firefox to open a file
I had to enclose "C:\Program ...\firefox" within double quotes. That works to start the browser but if I want the browser to open a file I must enclose that also within double quote and that did not work. I am not sure if the problem was the Fortran intrinsic EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE(txt) or deeper down. But the old Explorer I could start without "" and just enclose "file:/help.html" with "".
So now I tried to be smart wrote a test program enclosing just the directories with a space within using "" i.e.
C:"Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"\firefox.exe "file:/help.html"
in the call to EXEXUTE...
and that worked and opened the helpfile in a tab as is my default.
Problem solved? No, when I had exchanged the browser with path in the program and tested it did not find the browser. The reason was that I have a test that the browser exist using another Fortran intrinsic INQUIRE and as I understand doublequotes are not legal inside file names so INQUIRE did not find firefox when there are " inside the path. Only if " are used around the whole file name it worked. So back to square one? No, I simply removed the " in the path+browser before calling INQUIRE, then used the path with "" inside when calling EXECTUE ...
and now it everything works as I wanted!
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.
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

in particular (since you have used Sublime in the past): https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+for+Users+of+Text+Editors
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.

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 am a big fan of ST2, and have been finding oodles of tricks to code/type faster.
One thing that I would like to know is if it is possible to create custom symbols for things like code blocks, include segments, and other bookmarks for goodies in your file.
For example:
I want to quickly include a standard C lib via (inc, tab). Is there a way for me to create a section where I keep all my standard lib includes (i.e: #CSTDLIB) and use the functionality of goto-> symbol (ctrl+r) to skip straight to this segment from anywhere in my file?
I tried looking to see if there was some sort of special handler to place in a comment that would recognise it as a "bookmark" but couldnt really find anything.
Cheers in advance.
This is an old question, so I'm answering for the latest ST3. Pretty sure this was possible with older versions as well.
The builtin C/C++ syntax definitions support a special formatting for comments in the following form:
// =jump target=
The string "jump target" will then be listed in the symbol list for ctrl+r. Unfortunately that only works if the // is at the beginning of the line. But we can fix that.
Install PackageResourceViewer, then from the command palette use PackageResourceViewer: Open Resource->C++->C.sublime-syntax.
In this file it says:
- match: ^// =(\s*.*?)\s*=\s*$\n?
scope: comment.line.banner.c
captures:
1: meta.toc-list.banner.line.c
Now remove the ^ in front of the regexp, save the file. Now you can enter comments // =jump target= anywhere, and jump there with ctrl+r.
If I have understood you correctly, you can use Ctrl + F2 shortcut for making bookmarks anywhere in your file, and walk through these bookmarks by F2 button. To remove bookmark, press Ctrl + F2 again in the line which you want to exclude from bookmarks.
If it isn't so, and this functionality doesn't cover your requirements, please specify more detailed use case.
Hope it will be useful to you
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.
