Is it possible to preview a file with one click on file name like Sublime Text in Phpstorm?
Yes, it's possible but it little bit different from sublime-text.
You can use phpstorm shortcut "Quick Definition", by default on linux:
CtrlShiftI
Select file at project window and press this hotkeys.
I installed a plugin called Quick File Preview, by Martin Sommer.
I hate having to install plugins for small things like these, but I felt I had to. Having to double-click a file just to see its content can be quite annoying for someone coming from Sublime and VS Code (VSCodium in my case)
Currently, this is natively supported by activating "Enable preview tab" in Editor > General > Editor Tabs > Opening policy.

I would like to compare 2 files in intellij. Both files are not part of a specific project.
Is there a way to do so?
I am running Intellij 15 and 16.
The following works for me in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 14.1.7 on Windows:
Open the first file in the IDE (either by dragging from Windows Explorer into the window, or by File / Open).
In the view menu, choose "Compare With…"
In the "Select Path" dialog that appears, select the second file (either directly, or by dragging from Windows Explorer into the dialog).
It then opens up in the traditional file comparison pane. If you try to edit one of the files, it presents the usual "Are you sure you want to edit a file that's not in your project" dialog, which one can accept if that's what one is trying to do.
You can use the "compare with clipboard" feature.
From https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/comparing-files.html#clipboard:
Comparing a File in the Editor with the Clipboard Contents
Open the desired file in the editor.
Right-click the editor pane and
choose Compare with Clipboard on the context menu.
View and manage
differences in the Differences Viewer for Files.
You can use intellij to compare 2 files/clipboard/blank text etc
Use command Shift+Command+A to search Actions
Type "Open Blank Diff Window" to compare random text
type diff for all diff options.
I use this on the command line (with IntelliJ IDEA CE on a Mac):
/Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app/Contents/MacOS/idea diff ~/Junk/file1.txt ~/Junk/file2.txt
Window > Editor Tabs > Split Vertically
Is that what you're looking for? It's what I was looking for.
Worked for me on Mac OS High Sierra + IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3
- File -> Open
- Select file 1
- View -> Compare with ...
- Select file 2
To use intelli's difference comparison between 2 different files, you can use the Compare With (Right click the file in Project window). There is also an option to Compare File in Editor. To use that option, ensure one file is open and selected, then right click the 2nd file, clicking Compare File in Editor
Couldn't find the simple solution on SO, so thought I would add this here for anyone looking in the future.
My symptom was that I could copy and paste within the IJ editor, but not from the editor to another application or from another app to the editor.
This was on Windows 10 with IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.6.
I have found the best solution yet (for me in any case). I have tried everything! Including adding and removing Keymap options. And this is actually where the problem lies...sort of.
When you have the Vim plugin installed, Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v is allocated to Vim.
To change that, go to Setting>>Other Settings>>Vim Emulation and set the Handler to IDE. Apply and OK, and Voila!
My solution (thanks to a similar issue reported with Android Studio) was to run IntelliJ as an admin.
Steps to always run IntelliJ in admin mode:
Right-click on IntelliJ icon in start menu search (or wherever you started it) -> Open file location
Right-click IntelliJ shortcut -> Open file location (yes, again to get to the .exe, not the shortcut.)
Right-click idea.exe -> Properties
Compatibility tab -> check Run this program as an Administrator
Right-click idea64.exe -> Properties (if you run IntelliJ in 64 bit mode)
Compatibility tab -> check Run this program as an Administrator
Same problem drove me completely insane but this
https://www.quora.com/Why-doesnt-Ctrl+V-and-Ctrl+C-work-in-IntelliJ-IDEA-14-0-2-on-Linux
worked for me:
You might try Ctrl+INS for copy and Shift+INS for paste and see if they work. They are the traditional cut and paste and have been around a lot longer than Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v.
i don't know why, but this worked!
To make copy/paste through shortcut keys working with Vim Plugin you need to change some settings of Intellij IDE's editor regarding vim emulation, you need to follow these steps for it:
Click Menu File > Settings... (or use shortcut Ctrl + Alt + S)
Select Editor -> Vim Emulation and find the shortcuts and change their Handler column value to IDE as shown in the screenshot below.
The Shortcuts will start working, happy coding :)
Another solution i've found
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=173201
was:
Try to minimize Idea window and move it on the same monitor where is the code that you want to copy and paste it. After this small minimize and move exercise the clipboard starts working.
Ctrl-Shft-V starts working after this for me!!!!!
Try to enable "Use national layouts". Settings- Keymap.
For some reason it worked for me.
PyCharm - Setting>>Vim Emulation Set - Control + V/P/A to IDE
Hopefully this is a pretty straight-forward question.
Does Ektron support "Paste from Microsoft Word"? The old ContentDesigner editor used to, but does it still? Is it supported (perhaps as a custom Ektron plugin) in the new Aloha editor? If it's not supported, what workarounds have people found?
Yes, this is a standard editor option. It is right next to the paste icon in their standard editor (eWebEdit400), and its icon looks like a paste icon with a word doc over it. It is the fourth icon from the left in the top row.
See the ektron docs for a list of all default editor buttons:
http://documentation.ektron.com/cms400/v802/mobile_help/Advanced/Content/Managing%20Content/Editing%20Content/eWebEdit400/ewe400%20toolbarbuttons.htm
Keep in mind, if you are using version 8.6+ you have the option of installing a 3rd party editor (Aloha comes essentially out of the box). If your installation has been set up this way, you will need to install an aloha plugin for this to work. This plugin can be found at:
http://aloha-editor.org/guides/plugin_paste.html
I've got a little (big) problem in Aptana. Whenever I try to edit my settings for a specific editor, I click "Apply", then "OK", but my preferences don't get saved, and if I open the settings again, the default ones are shown. What might be causing the problem?
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Aptana build 3.0.4.201108101506.
I'm looking forward to reading your suggestions.

EDIT: The situations changed with version 3.0.5. Now, YAML editor's preferences get erased when closing the settings window as before, while others editors' ones are overridden with defaults when closing the IDE... This is very strange.
open preferences (settings)
click General
click editors
click text editors
change displayed tab width to 4
check insert spaces for tabs
click apply
click ok
open preferences (settings)
click aptana studio
click editors
click YAML (or desired editor)
change tab policy to use spaces
change tab size to 4
this worked for me
My first day using this IDE...
is there a way to configure the IDE to open files in the project by double click? It is rather painful having to drag files from the project overview into the editor window.
You can change the KeyMap.
Go to File->Settings and find the keymap section.
You will have to create a new KeyMap by clicking copy, and then look in the View section for "Jump to Source" and change/add the keymap you want.
However, as Bozhidar Batsov noted, double clicking may not always work so well. Whether it works may vary by OS and/or windowing system. I have no trouble with it in Mac OS X, but it doesn't seem to work well in openSUSE.
There are also other predefined keymaps that you can select from this settings screen. They're set up to resemble other IDEs, so you might find them helpful if you're transitioning from something else.
It is easy way to do in windows.
I found a great solution to this problem by Jelmer Kuperus over at Orange11.
Create an .Xresources file in your home directory. Add the following line:
*multiClickTime: 400
Jelmer explains that this setting changes the default double-click speed from 200ms to 400ms, effectively slowing it down. Save the file and then run:
xrdb ~/.Xresources
The effect is immediate, no need to logout or reboot. Double-click in Intellij works as expected. I did try changing the mouse double-click speed in System Settings first before trying this out to see if that made a difference but it did not.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04, Intellij 10.5.2, and Sun JDK 1.6.0_26. YMMV
Use F4 to open quickly the selected files. Btw double clicking on files should work as well(at least in theory). Swing's buggy handling of such events, however, causes the double click to not always work in IDEA, so I eventually stopped double clicking and switched to using F4. You can also use "Autoscroll to source" from the projects menu - this will open the source files as soon as you select them in the project browser.
