In PhpStorm, when dealing with soft/smart-tabs can I jump back to the previous tabstop with one key press or combo?
I tried Shift+Tab but it doesn't jump back to the tabstop, it jumps back by the size of the softtab.
Here is an illustration where a soft tab is 4 spaces:
Notabs (0 spaces)
••••Tabstop1 (1 Tab)
••••••••Tabstop2 (2 Tabs)
••••••* My cursors is here in between Tabstop 1 + 2
••••••••<- another Tab press moves me to Level2
••••<- I want to get here, back to Level1 (in one key press)
••<- Shift+Tab moves me here (back 4 full spaces, a full soft tab)
In retrospect I can live with just backspacing a 3 to 1 times, and use Shift+Tab when traversing a tabstop or more of distance, but I'm just curious if there is a direct analogy to the way the Tab key works for un-tabbing stuff.
There is a little combo: press Tab, then press Shift+Tab.
It is not in one key press, but it is regardless of number of spaces (1 or 2 or 3) you want to jump over. No need to calculate how many backspaces you need: every time press 2 times.

I want to be able to edit every line of my data simultaneously, for instance put quotations in front of every line. I am wondering what the key combination is that will enable me to do this.
Four steps:
Select all the text: CTRL A
Activate multi-cursors: CTRL (or CMD on Mac) SHIFT L
Press the Home key to move all cursors to the front of the line
Press the " quote key to insert the quote.
Using the Home End and CTRL + left | right arrow keys is handy when managing multiple cursors.
On a mac, you can highlight the lines you wish to edit and use CMDShiftL, or ctrlShiftL on Windows.
On Mac
cmd+A (Select all)
cmd+shift+L (Split selection into lines)
shift+2 (Surround selection with quotes)
esc (Escape)
On Windows
CTRL+A (Select all Data)
CTRL+Shift+L (Cursor will appear on each line)
Shift+ (right or left key) (move the cursor left or right)
Press ESC to remove the focus.
In case if you want to put cursor at every string as currently selected, use Find All shortcut:
Windows/Linux: Alt+F3
Mac: ⌃+⌘+G
All Multiple Selection shortcuts
I used this instruction https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/column_selection.html
still when I cut it only cuts 2 chars instead of the whole column of "00:00" why ?
You haven't selected a column. If you look carefully, you've only selected the 00 on the first line, and the rest of them are highlighted because they match the current selection. Make sure you are using the correct key/mouse sequence for your operating system from the documentation you linked to, then select the entire column, not just the first two characters.
While holding down Ctrl + Alt, press ↓ until you reach the end of the column. It will clone your cursor down the column. Then, use Shift + → or ← key to select text. Once selected do whatever you want with it.
I'm using Mac, SublimeText2
When I used the mouse to click got_value, the words equal to got_value will be highlighted,
Then I press cmd+D , only the first 2 got_value were selected,
How could I make more got_values to be selected ? (by keyboard but not mouse click)
Thanks
Keep pressing cmd+d to select more instances.
Press cmd+u to unselect the last instance.
Or, to highlight them all
ctrl+cmd+g
Is there any plugin or shortcut to hide all except code section in sublime text 2?
I need to fold all except section at a time , Not fold one section at a time.
Thanks~
If you'll hover with the mouse over the line numbers you'll see arrows - clicking on any of them will fold/collapse the code
If you want to collapse/expand all - you can do so by going to edit->code folding and choose "fold all" or "unfold all":
In addition to the other answers it is also possible to fold based on level as well. So for example looking at the default key bindings for fold.
Searching for fold key bindings.
So for example a foldall, or folding level 1 would be to hold Ctrl followed by pressing the sequence k and then 1:
Or folding level 2 would be to hold Ctrl followed by pressing the sequence k and then 2:
Or unfolding all would be would be to hold Ctrl followed by pressing the sequence k and then 0 or in my defaults I also seem to have it bound to the letter j:
Warning.
Pressing Ctrl+k twice will remove a line or a count of lines.
But not really cause you can put them back one by one by Ctrl+u
One thing you can do is select the Except code bloc using a regular expression, for instance using except(.|\n)*?raise.* in your case. You can then select "Find all" in the search bar, then Edit->Code Folding -> Fold .
Windows shortcut : Ctrl-Shift-[
Mac shortcut: Cmd-Alt-[
All the Except bloc will then be collapsed.
I know this is an old question, but it still comes up high in search results and none of the answers quite do what the OP wanted.
select the code you don't want to be hidden
use "Selection" -> "Invert Selection" to select the code you do want to be hidden instead
use ctrl + shift + [ or Command + Option + ] to collapse the selection(s)
This will leave you with just the code you originally had selected visible.
Fold and UnFold function or class base only for MAC:
* Fold: command + K, command + 1
* UnFold: command + K, command + J
I have installed Sublime Text 2 in windows and I am trying to use the multiple cursors feature.
Firstly I highlight the selection I am looking for (three lines).
Then I can press CTRL + D to select each re-occurrence, or ALT + F3 to select all. There are four repeats in my situation.
I now want to move the cursors in the middle of the three lines and add some information, to be added to all occurrences.
As soon as I click in the selection, the multiple selection is gone? Is there something I am doing wrong, I am sure it is wrong but as the documentation is so weak I cannot find out how?
It's usually just easier to skip the mouse altogether--or it would be if Sublime didn't mess up multiselect when word wrapping. Here's the official documentation on using the keyboard and mouse for multiple selection. Since it's a bit spread out, I'll summarize it:
Where shortcuts are different in Sublime Text 3, I've made a note. For v3, I always test using the latest dev build; if you're using the beta build, your experience may be different.
If you lose your selection when switching tabs or windows (particularly on Linux), try using Ctrl + U to restore it.
Mouse
Windows/Linux
Building blocks:
Positive/negative:
Add to selection: Ctrl
Subtract from selection: Alt In early builds of v3, this didn't work for linear selection.
Selection type:
Linear selection: Left Click
Block selection: Middle Click or Shift + Right Click On Linux, middle click pastes instead by default.
Combine as you see fit. For example:
Add to selection: Ctrl + Left Click (and optionally drag)
Subtract from selection: Alt + Left Click This didn't work in early builds of v3.
Add block selection: Ctrl + Shift + Right Click (and drag)
Subtract block selection: Alt + Shift + Right Click (and drag)
Mac OS X
Building blocks:
Positive/negative:
Add to selection: ⌘
Subtract from selection: ⇧⌘ (only works with block selection in v3; presumably bug)
Selection type:
Linear selection: Left Click
Block selection: Middle Click or ⌥ + Left Click
Combine as you see fit. For example:
Add to selection: ⌘ + Left Click (and optionally drag)
Subtract from selection: ⇧⌘ + Left Click (and drag--this combination doesn't work in Sublime Text 3, but supposedly it works in 2)
Add block selection: ⌥⌘ + Left Click (and drag)
Subtract block selection: ⌥⇧⌘ + Left Click (and drag)

Notes for Mac users
On Yosemite and El Capitan, ⌃⇧⇡ and ⌃⇧⇣ are system keyboard shortcuts by default. If you want them to work in Sublime Text, you will need to change them:
Open System Preferences.
Select the Shortcuts tab.
Select Mission Control in the left listbox.
Change the keyboard shortcuts for Mission Control and Application windows (or disable them). I use ⌃⌥⇡ and ⌃⌥⇣. They defaults are ⌃⇡ and ⌃⇣; adding ⌃ to those shortcuts triggers the same actions, but slows the animations.
In case you're not familiar with Mac's keyboard symbols:
⎋ is the escape key
⌃ is the control key
⌥ is the option key
⇧ is the shift key
⌘ is the command key
⇡ et al are the arrow keys, as depicted
In Sublime Text, after you select multiple regions of text, a click is considered a way to exit the multi-select mode. Move the cursor with the keyboard keys (arrows, Ctrl+arrows, etc.) instead, and you'll be fine
Try using Ctrl-click on the multiple places you want the cursors. Ctrl-D is for multiple incremental finds.
I find using vintage mode works really well with sublime multiselect.
My most used keys would be "w" for jumping a word, "^" and "$" to move to first/last character of the line. Combinations like "2dw" (delete the next two words after the cursor) make using multiselect really powerful.
This sounds obvious but has really sped up my workflow, especially when editing HTML.
Mac Users, let me save you the time:
Cmd+a: select the lines you want a cursor
Cmd+Shift+l: to create the cursor
