I accidentally enabled rainbow variables in PhpStorm and it looks absolutely horrible. It sounds kinda silly but I just cant find the settings to disable them.
I have looked up the extension and followed the steps to uninstall but I haven't found anything related to rainbow variables https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17748-rainbow-variable
I also uninstalled Rainbow Brackets and everything else relating to styling code or variables from the plugins page
And yes I restarted the IDE after those changes with no success. I'm currently on the version 2022.2.3 of PhpStorm.
If you have disabled that Rainbow Variables plugin and still seeing the functionality then it might be PhpStorm's Semantic Highlighting in action.
Settings/Preferences | Editor | Color Scheme | Language Defaults | Semantic highlighting and make sure it is disabled there.
Please note that Rainbow Brackets plugin turns the above option ON automatically and prevents disabling it (on IDE restart). This should be fixed in latest plugin versions:
2022.3.3 Fix #2541: [Rainbow variables] Ask to enable rainbow variables before turn it on
2022.3.4 Fix #2551: [Rainbow variables] rainbow variable does not take effect after IDEA is restarted
For PhpStorm 2022.3, it is here we can disable rainbow variables (even for .json file, where each line has a diffent color).
I found the same problem in IntelliJ. However, there're checkboxes in the IntelliJ settings -> Rainbow Brackets(yes, it has an independent setting bar). If PS has the same form of settings, you may uncheck the 'rainbow variable' box. screen shot

I'm using PhpStorm over 3 months and it's a good IDE. I do not know what I've clicked yesterday but since yesterday I have issue with code completion in CSS mainly.
On the screen I have VS Code and PhpStorm and also I've opened the same project.
In VS Code it works perfectly. In PhpStorm it doesn't. I tried some Google First Aid like clear cache, update the IDE, turn On/Off Safe mode etc. but nothing changed.
My Code Completion settings:
Based on your PhpStorm editor area screenshot (many thanks for that BTW: not many people do post it even if asked), all your CSS files are treated as a Plain Text. It's rather unlikely to be a glitch, more like accidental settings change.
Settings/Preferences | Plugins -- make sure that CSS plugin is enabled. If not -- enable and restart the IDE.
If still the same: Settings/Preferences | Editor | File Types -- locate "Cascading style sheet" entry and make sure that it has *.css pattern there.
If not there -- it's possible that you have somehow reassigned it to "Text" file type. If it's there -- just add *.css to Cascading style sheet patterns (it will remove it from Text when doing that).
If still nothing: you would need to provide more/new screenshots.
Is there away to install SyncedSideBar or something similar to that for Atom IDE ?
I used this one on my sublime text 3, and I was looking for the same plugin that will work for Atom.
I like how it auto highlight the current opened file
Any suggestions ?
You don't need any extra plugin for this. It there in the default tree plugin. Search for tree in packages
Click on settings and check the Auto Reveal checkbox
And now the active file will be automatically highlighted
Some of the themes may not highlight this properly, so you should change the theme and make sure it works. Sometimes after changing the settings you may need a restart, if it doesn't work
I am working with Itellij IDEA (2017.2.4). I am not sure whether the reason is new version of IDEA, but I started to face it after new version installed.
When I type some code in editor and Tooltip is shown (it can be inspection or just parameters of method shown ect.) I cannot type new symbols until pressing ESCAPE button, it is not useful for me. Before updating the IDEA there was behavior when user types new code, tooltip is hidden without ESCAPE pressing. It was made hidden by any key pressed.
Actually maybe I just change some setting property unconsciously, if yes - what is the property needed to be restored to default?
How to make it hidden not by ESCAPE but by any button?
In next image I pictured the moment when only ESCAPE key can be pressed.
I'm not able to reproduce the issue, even when I use v2017.2.4 on windows. The behavior should be that you can still type even when the tooltip is present:
I can't think of anything in terms of settings that could cause this issue. If it's just the "parameter info" tooltip that is causing the issue, you can disable it (or just increase the delay time) from automatically popping up via the setting: Settings > Editor > Code Completion > "Parameter Info" > "Autopopup" You can then manually open it via the Parameter Info Action via Ctrl+P / ⌘P. The setting #Maciej-Białorucki mentioned will effect the time before other tooltips open. Setting to a high value might help if other tooltips are causing issues.
Personally, I find the auto popup useful. To troubleshoot why this is causing issues, I'd recommend trying the following:
Upgrade to v 2017.2.6 which was released yesterday. While I personally can't reproduce it, and I'm not seeing anything about it in the 2017.2.5 Release Notes nor the 2017.2.6 Release Notes, it can't hurt to try and upgrade.
Disable all third party plugins and restart IDEA. See if the issue persists. In my 14 years of using IDEA and helping people with it on the forums, I've seen 3rd party plugins having bugs that cause other parts of IDEA to misbehave. Since you recently upgraded, it's possible a 3rd party plugin is having a compatibility issue with the new version. If the disabling them solves it, use a binary search to as you re-enable the plugins to track down the culprit and then report the bug to the plugin's developer.
See if it happens in other projects. If not there may be something wrong with the project's configuration. (A long shot. But worth checking out)
As another long shot, you can try invalidating the caches and then restarting IDEA via File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... I have on occasion over the years seen a corrupted index file or cache cause strange behavior.
If none of the above work, I suggest opening a bug report with JetBrains at: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com
Check Tooltip initial delay(ms) option under Appearance in Idea settings.
As I divined there was a property in settings that influences to the behavior described in a question. So to continue writing code without pressing ESCAPE key you must uncheck the following property:
Menu page Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings
Checkbox Accessibility -> Support screen readers (requires start)
(for more details see the link)
I'm having a weird problem in pycharm that I can't seem to work out.
Using the Darcula theme, I'm seeing some odd highlighting as seen in the below image
Any idea what it is? I'm thinking I must have accidentally turned on some obscure tool, but I can't spot any rhyme or reason.
For whatever reason / somehow you have injected custom language (HTML?) into DIV (?) tags (the green background).
Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Editor | Language Injections -- find and delete offending rule. It should have "Project" or "Global" in most right column (Scope) -- do not touch "Bundled" ones.
Alternatively -- Alt + Enter while having caret inside problematic place and choose "Uninject xxx" from popup menu. This will only disable that rule (which is still enough to make it work as before) .. but you better delete such wrong rule at some point later.
I checked my project into GIT support and after that there are marks in editor showing me places I changed in file relative to the last commit (I think). It really slows editor. How to turn this off? I can't find the specific option in settings.
There is no way to disable it except disabling the version control completely in Settings | Version Control.
If it slows down the editor (it shouldn't), please file a bug with a CPU snapshot.
