I created a sample react native app. If I open the App.js file to edit the example code, the code gets changed if I save the file in visual studio code:
How can I stop this from happening?
The editor is formatting the content on save. You can either turn off the auto-formatting on save or figure out what formatter is causing the invalid output format.
To turn off formatting on save, go to preferences and search for editor.formatOnSave which you can then turn off.
If you want to fix the formatter, you'll have to look at the plugins installed and the formatter selected for the file type.

I was working on a Vuejs project. So this morning when I opened the project it wasn't compiling anymore and it was reporting an error in one of the components. When opening the component, this message appeared in the VSCode editor "The file will not be displayed in the editor because it is either binary, very large or uses an unsupported text encoding." Clicking on open anyway appears a lot of code with strange symbols as shown in the image. When I try to open the file in another editor, the same problem also happens, but the symbols change. I would like to know what might have happened and if there is a way to recover my file?
Looks like your file is corrupt. Restore from a backup, or re-pull from git.
I created a file named "auth_actions.dart" in a dart project(either angular or not). The file content would have text colour being plain white, without any highlighted.
If I rename it to "auth_action.dart" or "auth_actionss.dart", the highlight will come back.
I did some experiments even from some random projects downloaded from github, all of them had this issue.
Anyone know how to fix it? Does anyone see the same issue using the name "auth_actions.dart"?
I assume you accidentally added the file to
Preferences > Editor > File Types > Recognized File Types > Text
Remove it from Registered Patterns to get hightlighting again.
You could accidentally mark it as plain text (the option is in the right-click menu). In this case, the option to mark it back as a Dart file is also in the context menu.
Is there a simple way to copy syntax-coloured code block as rtf in intellij IDEA?
UPDATE: there is now a new plug-in for this: 'Copy' on steroids that is maintained by JetBrains.
There is no way to copy colored code block from IDEA directly.
A workaround is to use File | Export to HTML, then open HTML in a browser, then copy from the browser window and paste into Wordpad or MS Word.
Another and more faster way is to install the Copy as HTML plug-in in Settings | Plugins:
Copies a snippet of code as html
Adds menu items "Copy as HTML" to main menu and editor popup. Will copy the current selection or the complete editor buffer. Currently only works if focus is in editor (for example won't work in project tree).
Preserves more formatting than the built-in HTML export.
HTML is only a snippet (without html and body tags) meant to be inserted into a complete HTML document.
Currently HTML format is fixed and uses CSS a lot.
Options: unindent, add border, padding, line numbers, tabs to spaces conversion, include editor's warning and error highlighting (see IDE Settings -> Copy as HTML).
Reuses the editor "Show Line Numbers" setting (see Idea's "View" menu).
IntelliJ IDEA 15
By default, you can copy rich text from IntelliJ to Microsoft Word (for example).
This feature can be found in File > Settings... > Editor > General > Rich-text copy > Copy as rich text by default
You can also change the color scheme only for the copy-paste operation (your current scheme won't be affected).
Go to https://gist.github.com/
Copy code from IntelliJ to the new private gist;
Save it, copy colorful code from the browser to wherever you want;
Delete the gist.
Use external tool notepad++
1) copy code snippet to notepad++
2) apply syntax highlighting
3) copy with nppexport plugin to clipboard as rtf
If you're on a mac and like TextMate, here's a great way to copy styled code from TextMate: https://github.com/bblimke/copy-with-style-tmbundle
It's not as convenient as doing it directly from IntelliJ, but it's a bit more convenient than using gist or pastebin. Also, unlike the Copy as HTML Plugin for IntelliJ, this solution actually works at the time of this writing.
I have intellij 13.1.3 Ultimate and have been using it for my PHP projects. All my files.php are nicely hightlighted for php.
This morning I had to create a new file called "report.php". At first I create it with right click > new > file, but this gave me no hightlighting. So I deleted it and tried again with a right click > new > php file with same result. Now what ever the way I create it, it thinks the file is txt (it seems so) and there is no code highlighting. It's pretty frustrating.
I have tested the creation of a new file with a different name "reports.php" but this time with right click> new > PHP file, and it came nicely highlighted. i tried to rename the file to "report.php" but it came back to no highlighting!!
It seems Intellij is stuck with the name report.php being a type text.
I tried to delete the file, restart the IDEA, recreate it the right way, no luck.
I tried power save mode on, and off. No luck.
I tried File > invalidate cache/restart, ... no luck.
I'm out of options here...
Is there a way to FORCE intellij to interpret a file? Is the name "report" a reserved word?!?!?
How can it be so stupid...
edit: I also tried the suggestion in : IntelliJ: how to force editor to treat a file as javascript? but php is not in the list of the Template data language
Also in settings > file types, I saw two Php file entries. One with no extention, and one properly configured. I deleted the bad one but it reappears after a restart of the IDEA!
Please go to Settings | Editor | File Types and remove the association of "report.php" with the text file type. (The erroneous association was created because of a bug in IntelliJ IDEA, but unfortunately we don't currently have specific steps to reproduce for it.)
