shortcut to goto method definition in rails with textmate - ruby-on-rails-3

With Netbeans or Eclipse I would Ctrl + click on the function name to go to the method definition. Are there any shortcuts for this in Textmate ?

There's a CTags bundle that will allow something like that. Even though it looks old, it does still work - I use it a lot myself

Ctrl-H is an option to show the API documentation for the current word.
But this doesn't work for any other methods or class that may be defined or included in your project. For those I've written a TextMate Bundle command (you can easily assign it to Ctrl+] for example) that lookup for the definition of the class or method under the caret and displays it in a tooltip, along with the file name and the line where it was find.
Check it out: Add a shortcut to TextMate to lookup a class or method definition in a tooltip
Hope you'll find it useful ;)

CLion code navigation with C++ doesn't work

I've used AppCode (Intellij C++/ObjC IDE that replaces Xcode) for a while and really gotten used to being able to Ctrl+Click on any identifier to get to its definition/decleration.
Now on a new work place, I'm using CLion for a somewhat larger code base and Ctrl+Click hardly ever works. It only seem to work when the identifier is in the same file.
Is there anything I need to setup for this to work correctly? CLion seem to index the code successfully and doing text searches works fine.
You need to use import project functionality of CLion from File -> Import Project and give ok for CMakeLists.txt file automatic creation. Never mind the file is for CMake, you can build your project with other tools too, but CLion uses it for the dependencies.
Then append in the beginning of that file a line stating:
include_directories(.)
After that go to File -> Settings and there search for Keymap from the left and after that on right, right below the word "keymap" there is a selection element for taking for example Eclipse default keymapping in use and there you have at least (I tested only it) the ctrl + click functionality working like charm!!
kudos about the include_directories(.) goes to this question: CLion indexer does not resolve some includes in the project directory
You need to press ctrl + alt + shift + n.
And after pressing it a dialog box will appear to enter your variable/function name and click enter.
Tip: Filter the result for a better experience. Filter option is present on right side of the dialog box.
To get a quick peek of function/variable definition press ctrl + q while focusing on the variable or function.
To get the detailed or full definition of function press ctrl + shift + i while focusing on the variable or function.
I just looked at one of my more complicated teaching examples with multiple header/source files where this would come up.
What I see is that ctl-click (and the red/green arrows in the gutter) does work only in the same file. But I can right-click on a method from another file and choose to go to either the declaration (in header) or definition (in cpp).
The hotkeys to do this are not ctl-click. But you can remap hotkeys in IntelliJ ides, so you may be able to come up with hotkey combinations that don't seem too awkward to you.
What helped me was to run File > New CMake Project from Sources
Until that point, Ctrl+click in CLion would go to the definitions, but wouldn't find any usages.

How to search for *only* methods in IntelliJ IDEA?

I would like to have a way to search for methods in a class, only methods, not class member variables, is there a way to do that?.
Afaik there is not a dedicated way of doing this, but you can use the find action and search on a regex. E.g. something like: [ ][a-zA-Z]{2,}\(
With cmd+G you can navigate to the next occurrence. You can easily tweak the regex to search for public methods only if you like.
Alternatively you can press cmd+F12 to open the "File structure". (you can look it up in the keymap if you want to know the keyboard shortcut for other OS).
You will get more or less the same information when you write "this." and press the shortkey for autocompletion.
Tip: if you want to know if something is available you can always press shift twice and type what you are looking for. Check the "actions" section to see the available actions. Or press the cmd+shift+A to search for actions and options instantly.
Use Structural search. For java there is a pre-defined template for class methods exists (All methods of the class):

PhpStorm does not highlight unimported classes

I'm using PhpStorm 2016.2 and recently I've noticed that it has stopped highlighting errors when a class is not imported from any namespace.
Let's say a namespaced class and inside I have a call like this:
$user = User::findOne(123);
In order for the above to work, I would need to do use common\models\User. But there is no error highlight and if I try to execute the code, it would of course fail. I'm confident that previously I got such errors highlighted. I'm not sure however when that happened - since update to 2016.2 or after doing something unintended.
You can follow the below steps to highlight the undefined/unimported class in phpstorm.
Go to preferences tab, choose inspections from Editor.
From the lists, choose php.
Under that, tick the Undefined class and click Apply and Ok.

Intellij exclude file from being compiled

I am trying to exclude a particular file in my project from being compiled.
According to the Intellij IDEA documentation you do this by "marking the file as plain text".
However, the context menu in the project view where this functionality is supposedly located has no such action. I am using version 13.02 of Intellij. Here is what my context menu looks like:
Under File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Excludes, add an entry.
Any attempts to run a path specified here will result in a ClassNotFoundException, and a very important class indicator as well.
Just to compound on Makoto's answer (would comment but don't have reputation), it looks like this feature does not apply to classes (.java) or assets (images)...for these types of files, it looks like you will need to actually go to the compiler and explicitly state that the file(s) should be excluded.
However, for .htm, .xml, or really anything that isn't a class or asset you will find and can use the 'Mark as plain text' option.
Edit: It looks like you can also go to the 'Messages Make' error / warnings view and Exclude from there, a little less work IMHO.
The answer that #Makoto has given is pretty much the way to go, but in case that you are like me and you get easily both distracted and frustrated looking for that menu, you could use this shortcut:
press ctrl + shift + a , and in the input box that appears type excludes, and select the first item that appears.

Show a variable's type in AppCode

Is there a shortcut to quickly show the type of a variable in JetBrains' AppCode? Preferably this would be something akin to Visual Studio, which shows the type of a variable when you hover over it with the mouse.
Alternately, if you hold the command key while hovering, you can hover the variable to have the executive summary info bubble. By then clicking the keyword (not the info-bubble) you can then get 'beamed over' to the code that declares or implements the specific interface. For example, in the following line :
[fa.AoEspec addTileSpec:[AoEtile AoEtileFromString:#"0,0,50,hit"]];
I will get an 'info bubble' for fa (local variable), AoeSpec (a property) AoEtile (a class) AoeTileFromString ... all clickable.
You can press SHIFT-COMMAND I to see the definition of the variable under the cursor. It shows you the line that defines the variable, as well as which file. Pretty handy when looking at code you didn't write.
In AppCode 2.1.x Cmd+Shift+I is not a predefined keyboard shortcut (anymore?!). And the previous mentioned Cmd+MouseOver may not be suitable for keyboard-only-junkies. So here come some alternatives:
Cmd+B - to go to the definition (and Cmd+Alt+CursorLeft to go back)
Alt+Space or Cmd+y - to show the quick definition window [1]
Maybe this is helpful.
[1] In AppCode 2.1.2 there seems to be a bug I filed with JetBrains that the quick definition window is empty for iVars (these underscore variables that are generate by auto-synthesize from #property fields). But in all other cases quick definition window works fine! And maybe the bug is fixed when you read this...
What works for me in AppCode 2018.2 is control + command + ? when the variable is under the cursor (quick documentation under View).
You can see a couple of other useful combinations under the View menu.
