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 stumbled across this, when I tried solving this: Searching for Live Template in PhpStorm, from abbreviation (wrong expansion?).
TL;DR
In PhpStorm, in a markdown-file, when I write 3 back-ticks and press enter, it expands to this:
```angular2html
```
And I would like PhpStorm to stop helping me here, and just type what I typed:
```
```
Detailed description and solution attempts
In a Markdown-file (readme.md), I use it often to write a code block with three ticks:
```
But when I do so, PhpStorm suggest a bunch of stuff:
So if I press Enter here, then it expands to:
```angular2html
```
So how do I change this behaviour?
Solution attempt 1: Deactivate the bundled Angular-plugin
There is a (bundled) plugin called: 'Angular and AngularJS'. If I deactivate that, then it looks like this:
and expands to this:
```apacheconf
```
Solution attempt 2: Ensure Markdown is supported
I'm really baffled why this happens. Does PhpStorm not realize that I'm in an .md-file?
And/or is this the usual desired behaviour, when people write three backticks in a and .md-file?
I can confirm that I have an active (bundled) plugin called: 'Markdown' (version 222.3739.61).
Solution attempt 3: Add a new Live Template
This actually works, by making a new Live Template, to be this:
```
$END$
Remember the blank line underneath. This is since I would like to press Enter, and that replaces the first 3 ticks with this, but not the ones PhpStorm automatically adds dues to auto-closing of brackets and backticks.
This solution attempt seems quite hacky, though. :-/
From https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-266239
The pop up was created to make specification of code fence language easier and to enable automatic code injection. We can’t disable it since it would affect a lot of users using it for fast code injection.
angular2html is the first entry in your case. Somebody else may have another language ID (e.g. aidl).
Right now it cannot be disabled or customized. So you will have to either use your own workaround (with Live Template) or press Esc before hitting Enter.
Other than that: watch that IDEA-266239 ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified with any progress. No better suggestions right now.
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".
RE: EDITThis does not affect availability of this feature/functionality in any way as "Resource roots" are used for path resolutions/validation and not for actual "offer this functionality or hide it" choice. -LazyOne
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)

The default SublimeText 2 snippets, located in the Packages directory and then under, say, Ruby are useful but only if you happen to know the tab trigger. For example the file ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Ruby/alias_method-..-(am).sublime-snippet contains:
<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[alias_method :${1:new_name}, :${0:old_name}]]></content>
<tabTrigger>am</tabTrigger>
<scope>source.ruby</scope>
<description>alias_method ..</description>
</snippet>
So we can access this trigger by hitting am then tab.
My question is, if this snippet chucks in alias_method :${1:new_name}, :${0:old_name} isn't there a way that I can use this snippet without knowing its am trigger, just by starting to type alias_m... for example?
Umm, no, not that I can find. I just opened up a blank Ruby file, hit a, and autocomplete popped up with all sorts of options, including the snippet you mentioned. However, if I then typed an l (starting to spell out alias...), the option for the am snippet disappeared. So, it looks like autocomplete is not searching the <description> field, only the <tabTrigger> field. There aren't any options in Preferences -> Settings - Default that would seem to address this situation.
So, unfortunately it would seem the solution is one of two things - either edit all your commonly-used snippets to have tabTriggers that make more sense to you, or put together a snippet cheat sheet. It looks like at least one other person was thinking the same thing, as I found this collection without too much searching.
Good luck!
I am using MonoDevelop on Mac to write MonoTouch apps. Automatica code indenting/formatting works great while I am typing.
The problem is that when I copy and paste code snippets, in many cases I lose the formatting and lines are combined together, indenting is lost, and it is a huge pain to implement the tabs, spacing, and line breaks manually. Is there anyway I can use a command in monoDevelop to automatically indent and apply the formatting to existing code.
I thought maybe Edit|Format|Format Document/Selection would work, but these commands don't have any affect on the code at all.
Any help?
To format the entire document in one keystroke: control-I
To format a selection: Edit->Format->Format Selection
To customize the formatting: MonoDevelop->Preferences->Source Code->Code Formatting
You actually need to select all your text, and then go to Edit->Format->Format Document. It doesn't seem to work otherwise.
For me on macOS, the shortcut for "auto-format" is CTRL + i.
You can change the shortcut if you want. To change it, go to Preferences -> Key Bindings, then type "format" in the search box and edit the "Format Document" shortcut/key binding.
How to use hotkey in notepad++ webedit plugin?
what are the keyboard shortcuts to press to insert html tags??
Install the "webedit" plugin. Which will allow you to add custom shortcuts.
(Plugins > plugin manager).
After the program restarts, go to plugins > webedit > edit config. And either change an existing one or add a new one, (example &A= | ). You can remove the shortcut icons if they annoy you.
Then you go to, settings, shortcut mapper. Right now, ctl+enter is set to word completion I believe. Change that to something else (on main menu). Then go to the plugin commands tab and find your command and set it to ctl+enter. Then restart, and it should work.
http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52719
All keyboard shortcuts can be assigned/modified using the standard Shortcut Mapper. For more information see the WebEdit.txt help file.
That's what it says in the plugin description, at least.
Setting>Keyboard Shorcut>Plugins commands
then go to
- WebEdit - A
- WebEdit - Div Class
- WebEdit [...]
and select shortcut
I see that someone sort of answered it but I have a few things to add.
When you install WebEdit, go to the config as stated.
Go down to the [Tags] section.
Underneath all the comments, add the shortcut you want.
Here is the syntax:
<Tag>=<Replacement>
For tag, put what you want to replace. For example 'h1' (dont use the carrots).
put the = sign.
Then for replacement, put what you want "h1" to be replaced with.
Here is an example of my h1 hotkey:
h1=<h1>|</h1>
What the pipe character does is tell npp where to put your cursor after the replacement.
So this is how you use it now:
type h1, then press 'Alt+Enter'(by default, you can change this too), then BAM, your 'h1' will be replaced with:
<h1></h1> and your cursor will be sitting between the tags.
You could also do h1=<h1>|\n</h1> which would print the same thing but with a line break.
You can do some pretty awesome stuff with it. Saved me SO much time once I got used to it. I never type without it anymore lol.
Here is what my personal setup looks like under the [Tags] section (and I commented everything below starting with the m=module because it was messing with my 'p' tag and I didn't care anyways.
begin=<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n</head>\n<body>\n\n|</body>\n</html>
h1=<h1>|</h1>
h2=<h2>|</h2>
h3=<h3>|</h3>
h4=<h4>|</h4>
h5=<h5>|</h5>
h6=<h6>|</h6>
html=<html>\n|\n</html>
script=<script type="text/javascript">\n\t\n</script>
link=<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="|">
a=
div=<div>
divclass=<div class="|">
divid=<div id="|">
divend=</div>
p=<p>|</p>
ul=<ul>\n\t|\n</ul>
li=<li>|</li>
header=<header>\n\t|\n</header>
nav=<nav>\n\t|\n</nav>
section=<section>\n\t|\n</section>
article=<article>\n\t|\n</article>
aside=<aside>\n\t|\n</aside>
footer=<footer>\n\t|\n</footer>
Remember one thing; after you edit the WebEdit, you have to restart NPP before the new tag will work.
I know this is a bit old, but you can use the Emmet plugin to speedup your HTML and CSS typing. you can customize your snippets to make any text.
It cames whith dozens of snippets already, you just have to type it and then hit Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
You can find the file to edit in this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\EmmetNPP\emmet\snippets.json
It's easy to spot what you have to do.
On the plug-ins menu you will find all options that this plugin offers.
Experiment it like typing html:5 and then hit Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
Or even this ul>li*4>a[href=page.php?id=$]{page $}.
You will be amezed.
