Does anyone know how to add a line separator in PhpStorm?
I know it can be done and I see it a lot but for some reason I can't figure it out how to add one even after researching google for a couple hours.
Check out the image below, there are two line separators, one at the top and one in the middle.
Settings > Editor > Appearance > Show method separators

I installed GNAT GPS 2017 and I would like it to indent my code with tabs using the same width as 4 space characters. I've gone into Edit->Preferences->Editor->Ada and tried all sorts of options (Use tabulations, default indentation 4, etc) but nothing seems to make it work:
Opening existing file with tabs causes GPS to display tabs with 8 spaces wide instead of 4.
Adding new code causes GPS to indent with 4 spaces but it inserts space characters instead of a single tab character.
Any ideas?
I think that GPS is working as-designed; unfortunately, that isn’t the way you want it to work.
The Preferences > Editor > Ada > Default indentation setting (and the four settings following it) say what screen appearance is required (assuming a monospace font, of course) if you hit the TAB key in a line.
The Preferences > Editor > Ada > Use tabulations setting says whether the editor should use 8-column-width tabs when possible to achieve the above.
#Jean-François Fabre suggested that "Their code parser doesn't support tabulations properly" - I think this may be that Jean-François compiles with -gnaty (style checks), and one of the default style checks is that the file isn’t indented with tabs.
Auto-indenting in IntelliJ IDEA seems to automatically takes lines previous to the selection in to consideration. This means that if the indentation is incorrect in the part of the file you're working on (e.g., 3 or 5 spaces where there should be 4, or even worse, a mix of tabs and spaces) it's annoyingly difficult to add correctly indented code.
Both new lines I'm adding and lines I use auto-indent on because I've changed them anyway get messed up like this. Since the file I'm working on is being worked on by someone else as well on another branch, I really don't want to modify over a third of the file just to indent everything correctly, but I would still like the lines that I'm actually modifying/adding to be correct - I don't see any reason to perpetuate the error when it's not necessary.
Currently the best mechanism for fixing it I've found is to manually do the spaces on a line and go from there, but it's really quite annoying, especially since I can't use the tab key or IntelliJ will immediately move to the incorrect indentation. It's barely better than copy/pasting the text to Sublime Text, fix the indentation there and paste it back without formatting.
My apologies if this has already been asked, I've tried to search for it, but it's very hard to search for this as there's so many auto-indent questions.
IntelliJ IDEA recently added a feature (in v14 or 1v4.1 if I recall) where it will detect indentation that is different from your settings. It will honor those indentations (in order to keep the file consistent). Usually as soon as you start editing the file, you get a banner, although that can be turned off. The banner looks like this:
This allows you to modify this setting on a per file basis, or turn it off completely (i.e. the "Show Settings" option).
I suspect this feature is what is causing you the issue. I am not sure how it handles a case where a file has mixed indentation (e.g. most of the file is 4, but some sections are 3 or 5 spaces). You can try turning this feature off in Settings > Editor > Code Style > "Detect and use existing file indents for editing"
How to disable auto changing tabs to spaces and removing empty lines, whitespaces in the sourcefiles after it opened?
In other words if the line contains tabs and spaces in one line Idea shouldn't change them. For example if file contains "-->-->....-->public void setAttribute();" Idea shouldn't change tabs to spaces or spaces to tabs. I can disable all autoformattig.
To restate the problem, you want the editor to not affect the whitespace indentations. Spaces should remain spaces and tabs should remain tabs.
I'm having a similar problem. It looks like IntelliJ has this feature:
Settings > Editor > Code Style,
Indents Detection section,
Detect and use existing file indents for editing option
Unfortunately, I don't think I can get it to work as expected for myself (version 2016.3.6), but it seems to be working for others.
Here's the original jetbrains blog post about it.
There is an option 'keep indents on empty line'
Assuming Java: Settings > Code Style > Java > Tabs and Indents > Use tab character. You can do the same for other languages too.
Besides noted IDE settings, please check if .editorconfig file exists in your project. The file may silently override IDE settings.
In Editor - Code Style - Java/JSON/etc - Tabs and Indents are two checkboxes:
Use tab character - when not checked, Idea replaces tabs by spaces while typing
Keep indents on empty line - when not checked, Idea removes tabs and spaces from lines where is no other content
so i just spent some time fussing over why my String.split call in scala failed - i was trying to split on a tab.
Problem wasn't what i was doing, but rather the fact that intelliJ changes tabs to spaces. Fair enough, but can i tell intelliJ to not do that for some files - like say random text files I might be using for test/learning purposes?
First, I would turn on Settings > Editor > Appearance > Show whitespaces, that way you're SURE what white space characters are there.
Next, under Settings > Code Style > General there should be a Use tab character check box. This says "use tabs for anything that's not Java, Scala, HTML, etc.". Just make sure Java, Scala*, etc. Use tab character setting is set to what you want.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to be more fine grained with what file types do and do not use tabs vs. spaces.
*I'm assuming the IntelliJ Scala plugin adds a tab in Settings > Code Style.
I have one file in my project, (the readme file,) which I would like Wing IDE to display with wrapped lines. Is it possible?
Yes this is possible. Here's how you would do this:
Edit > Preferences > Editor > Line Wrapping
In this window, make sure that the "Wrap Long Lines" box is checked. You can then edit settings in the same window like at what position the line show wrap, etc.
Source -> Justify text will reflow one paragraph of text. Unfortuneatly you have to invoke it one paragraph at a time if you want the whole file reformatted.
I realize you may actually be looking for a viewing transformation that does not modify the file.
It seems like it's currently not possible.
