When using PHPStorm as the development software, I will encounter that the source file cannot be located in the left list when editing the current file, which is a problem for both development and writing, because it wastes time!

Kaka will write a lot about solutions and solutions during the learning process, but will encounter several problems when writing articles.

  • The left list cannot locate the source file when clicking edit file
  • All methods of the file are displayed when the source file is located
  • Screenshots are especially inconvenient

Screenshots are inconvenient because you need to specify where the file is in the directory to capture the code. People who don’t read your article are in a daze and don’t know where this code is.

In order to solve the problems mentioned above, kaka also translated phpStorm’s English Settings with translation software, which solved the problem of being stuck for a long time.

Implementation Method 1

When taking screenshots of code, you will encounter files you edit that are not properly located on the left.

In this case, it takes a little time to find the file, if you are familiar with the file directory.

If you encounter an unfamiliar framework and code, it can be particularly difficult to find.

The first case show

So let’s see what we can do about this.

The first solution is to click on the place marked with the box. As long as you open the edited file on the right, click on the circle and it will automatically locate the edited file.

The first solution

Although this solution can indirectly solve the demand mentioned by Kaka, it is still a bit troublesome, because every time you need to click on it, so every time you click on it, it is really annoying.

So what do we do at this point? Keep watching.

Click to scroll to the source, so click to try it out.

Set up the

This is very comfortable, click on that file will automatically navigate to that file.

The solution

Then the first problem is solved perfectly, and there is no need to click that circle every time. Is it very comfortable? Anyway, it can save a lot of time for kakaka.

Since kakaka usually writes articles, this function is very practical for kakaka.

But you will find that the located file will display all the methods in the file.

Solve the second problem

When taking a screenshot, you need to hide all the methods in this file, which is still one more step.

How can that be? Ka-ka is really a little obsessive.

So let’s go ahead and solve this problem.

You go to the Settings screen

As you can see, this English word means show method.

Set the interface

Then just shut it down!

Screenshot after closing

After this series of processing, finally solved the ka-ka two big heart trouble, this in writing things save a lot of trouble.

Despite these two small features, Kaka has been using PhpStorm for three years and is still not familiar with the software.

These two feature points help ka-ka a lot.

There is no need to annotate the left side of the file when clicking on the screenshot, as it will be highlighted when locating the source file.

Ka-ka doesn’t have to find out where the file is on the left.

What a lot of work to save with just these two features! The use of IDEA is for convenient development, not to add trouble to their own, so have a good understanding of their own tools!

Will improve their own development efficiency of a lot of time.

Adhering to learning, blogging and sharing is the belief that Kakha has been upholding since she started her career. I hope you can get a little help from my articles on the Internet. I’m Kaka. See you next time.
