I found out it is possible to create custom regions folding in java files with nice line comments as descibed here: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/folding-custom-regions-with-line-comments.html but I can see this only works for java files. Is it somehow possible to make it work in xml files like in pom.xml.
What I would like to achieve is to introduce custom regions in dependencies to make it easier to navigate between them.
You can create regions in XML like this:
<!-- region This will show when folded -->
Your XML goes here.
<!-- endregion -->
XML and HTML custom folding regions will be a new feature introduced in upcoming IDEA 2016.3 release (see IDEA-93649).
If you want to use these features now, you can download the IDEA 2016.3 EAP release now.

How does one go about extending the jetbrains texteditor in a plugin to replace the text/characters/tokens with images/sprites?
This is not possible in the current version of IntelliJ IDEA (2016.3). The only possibility is to use the EditorInlay API to insert custom-drawn fragments between characters in the editor.
I am following this tutorial http://vimeo.com/album/1573372/video/37212149
It seems that there is a way to type "xmodel" and have a standard model's code generated automatically. I am using Webstorm IDE - is there a way of doing this in it, and any configurations I can import?
Thanks
Seems 'Live Templates' is the feature you refer to - it allows expanding abbreviations into code snippets. See http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/webhelp/live-templates.html, http://davidtucker.net/articles/live-templates-phpstorm-webstorm/
WebStorm doesn't come with predefined live templates for Sencha, but you can easily create them yourself or search the web for existing templates. See ST2 Power Tools, for example
I'm writing a Windows Store app, and I'd like to know if it's possible to suppress the generation of the "Common" folder, containing the code from Microsoft, which - imho I do not need.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Common contains StandardStyles.xaml which per App.xaml:
<!--
Styles that define common aspects of the platform look and feel
Required by Visual Studio project and item templates
-->
<ResourceDictionary Source="Common/StandardStyles.xaml"/>
and in StandardStyles.xaml:
<!--
This file contains XAML styles that simplify application development.
These are not merely convenient, but are required by most Visual Studio project and item templates.
Removing, renaming, or otherwise modifying the content of these files may result in a project that
does not build, or that will not build once additional pages are added. If variations on these
styles are desired it is recommended that you copy the content under a new name and modify your
private copy.
-->
That said if you've determined it's not something you'll need just delete it, simpler and less fragile than hacking a T4 template (or whatever mechanism is used) for the code generation.
I'm developing a plugin for visualization of objects by calling Doo.dle(Object o).
Now I'd like to automatically define a shortcut like sysout for System.out.println(), e.g. doodle.
I already know how to do it by hand:
Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates
Is there an extension point or something similar to do this automatically with my plugin?
I managed to do it on my own:
I had to define a javaCompletionProposalComputer extension and implement an ICompletionProposal.
It's not exactly what I intended, but it's working too.
Update:
I finally found it out:
The key is to define an extension for org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates. Patterns etc. can be cheated off predifined templates in eclipse properties (see question).
I'd like to selectively disable the IntelliJ IDEA code formatter for a portion of code just like I can in Eclipse. Does IntelliJ support this feature, and if so, how do I use it?
Since version 13 it's possible to wrap the code with
// #formatter:off
...
// #formatter:on
IntelliJ IDEA v.2018+:
File > Settings > Editor > Code Style
IntelliJ IDEA v.2016+:
Preferences > Editor > Code Style
IntelliJ IDEA v.14+:
Preferences > Editor > Code Style > Formatter Control
You can change the formatter control markers, as long as they're in comments.
Ensure formatter markers in comments are enabled, as shown in the following figure:
Note for Carlos' answer of #formatter:off and #formatter:on to work, you may need to enable the preference first:
Discovered via How to config intellij-idea not format some part of the code?
IDEA-56995 Disabled code formatting per region using comments
In xml files, use:
<!-- #formatter:off -->
<!-- #formatter:on -->
Obsolete answer from 2010:
No, it's not possible right now, I've submitted a new issue which you can track.
As a temporary solution you can use external formatter plug-in for IDEA which can utilize Eclipse code formatter (I didn't check whether this particular option is supported).
It's currently not possible to exclude entire files (like regression test data xmls) from formatting. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-167112
