I want to indent with tabs, so I checked "Use tab character" in settings. But when I open projects which were indented with tabs, IntelliJ IDEA still asks me if I want to convert the indenting to spaces or keep it that way. Also, it creates new classes with space indenting. How can I solve this?
Your screenshot shows the settings for your Default (1) scheme. Those settings are not applied to your project automatically. It's not enough to just select it in the combobox. You need to import this scheme into your project.
Click Manage... and Copy to Project, and it should work as expected. This needs to be done for all your projects.
Also, make sure you're changing the language-spefic settings, so instead Code Style select Code Style > Java (or whatever language you are using). Those settings may override the default code styles.

Whenever I hit alt-cmd-l to autoformat my code, it formats my imports and arrays from:
import { CommonModule } from '#angular/common';
let arr = [ myStringVar ]; // simple example, just go with it
to
import {CommonModule} from '#angular/common';
let arr = [myStringVar];
How do I tell IntelliJ to put a space after the opening brace and before the close brace when auto-formatting? (Specifically for javascript, typescript)
I've looked around for the answer and could not find one or asked the question badly. So I apologize if this is duplicate.
I'm on Intellij 2016.3.3
Go to preference, select Editor > Code Style > Javascript and choose Spaces, check the checkboxes in Within section "ES6 import/export brances", and if you want spaces in object literal braces, check "Object literal braces" and as well.
Go to settings and search for ES6 import/export braces. It should take you to Editor -> Code Style -> Javascript (or TypeScript). Just hit that checkbox on the spaces tab and it should add the spaces back.
As you are using Angular, I believe you need to edit the settings for the Typescript and NOT for JavaScript. As I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2021, I will give you the fix for the same. You can do so by going through the following path:
Go to File > Settings... > Editor > Code Style > Typescript
Click on the Spaces tab.
In the Within collapsible, tick the checkbox that says "ES6 import/export braces".
Click on Apply button and then click on Ok button.
If you now go to the Typescript file and hit the combo: Ctrl + Alt + L, it should now format the file correctly.
CAVEAT:
You have to be careful to ensure that you are making the changes for the Scheme that is applicable for your project. For example, maybe you have customized your Editor in some way previously and saved your customizations under a new name, such as MyCustomSettings. Once you do this, you will notice that there is an additional Scheme called the Default scheme. But MyCustomSettings will be your Scheme for your project and you have to make sure that you make the changes for the MyCustomSettings Scheme and not for the Default scheme. You can refer to the Schemes via the following path:
File > Settings... > Editor > Code Style > Typescript, there is a dropdown referred as Scheme. Choose the appropriate one for your Project and make sure you make the above edits in that Scheme.
In the settings window of Phpstorm, there is a dropdown box labelled scheme
What does it do?
What does it do?
You may be surprised .. but it allows you to choose another (different) Code Style scheme for this project.
PhpStorm supports globally defined schemas (by default it provides only one -- "Default") which can be used by any project and project-specific schema called "Project" which available for this project only (and stored together with other project-specific settings).
You can read more in official help page.
The Code Style is used for code formatting: be it automatic as you type / use live templates etc .. or manual reformat via Code | Reformat Code...
It's used to
choose the code style scheme to be used as the base for your custom coding style for the selected language (Source).
In other words: after selecting a scheme, you can set different formatting options, like tabs vs spaces, tab size or line breaks etc. To use those settings in your current project, you need to click Manage, select your edited scheme and click Copy to Project. After this, you can press Ctrl + Alt + L (Code > Reformat Code...) in the editor to reformat a file according to those scheme settings.
I've been attempting to get my Intellij IDEA to confirm to a google-like Java standard - however both imports and manual settings seem to be ignored.
Here's how my indentations are currently set:
However my code still formats at 4 spaces, and when I reformat it goes to 4 spaces as well.
Thanks in advance!
This is the setting for your GoogleStyle scheme. But your project most likely doesn't use it. It's not enough to just select it in the combobox. You need to import this scheme into your project.
Click Manage... and Copy to Project, and it should work as expected.
Also, make sure you're setting language-spefic settings, so instead Code Style select Code Style > Java.
When I open up any code file .java or .html IntelliJ (12.x) keeps the code folded and I always have to expand everything.
How do I make code expand by default?
In the preferences (ctrl+alt+s on my machine), under Editor, you will find an entry called Code Folding. In there you can choose what's folded by default. In your case, you'll probably want to remove all the defaults.
I hate to ask such simple questions, but nothing I found so far helped me...
So, I've recently started using IntelliJ instead of Eclipse and there are 2 things that really bothers me...
1.) size of javadoc popup window - ok, so I finally get this little guy to pop-up whenever I need it, but it's so small I have to use scroll every single time... and that's pretty anoying when I'm working with unknown libraries...
2.) tabs == spaces - maybe some of you like this, but I don't... Eclipse was treating tabs as tabs and not spaces... I tried to change settings but with no result... or is that maybe connected with project I'm working on? (meaning, if, at the start of a project, setting were such that tabs == spaces and now changes are not applied to it)
Sorry for stupid question but, as I said, nothing I found so far helped me...
1) Just resize the window with your mouse. It will retain the size the next time it opens. You can also click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and adjust the font size. Again, it will retain the size on subsequent use.
2) I'm assuming you make the change to the "Use Tab Character" option on the "Tabs and Indents" tab for all file types and saved the Code Style. After that, you need to run the Reformat Code action (Ctrl+Alt+L or Code > Reformat Code from the menu or Reformat Code from the context menu (i.e. right-click) in The Project Tool window or Navigation Bar). IDEA retains the previous formatting (so spaces in this case) until you run a reformat on the project (or a part of it).
If you have multiple projects already created, for each one, you will need to go into File > Settings > [Project Settings] > Code Style and set the Scheme (and then do a reformat). While the Scheme definition is saved IDE wide, the scheme to use is set per project (which makes sense since an Apache Open Source project you are working on may have different code style requirements than the projects you do at work vs the ones you do for fun).
Finally, you will also want to go into File > Other Settings > Default Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Code Style and make sure your saved code style scheme (with the use tab option) is set so that new projects use that scheme when they are created.
