Features

  • Customizable auto-insertion of short tags - PhpStorm 2019.3 introduced the ability to automatically insert <?php as soon as you type <?, which can help you deprecate short tags: But because short tags are still a part of PHP, this turned out to be a bit excessive. That is why this version adds several enhancements to the feature.
    • First, you can now opt out completely. In the PhpStorm preferences, go to Editor | General | Smart Keys | PHP and clear the Auto-insert ‘<?php’ tag after typing ‘<?’ checkbox:
    • Second, PhpStorm will filter out the extra php if you happen to type it reflexively, so <?phpphp should no longer occur. And, to remove the php part, you only have to press Backspace once:
  • Customizable highlighting for PHPDoc blocks - Another feature that required a more tailored approach is colored highlighting for PHPDoc blocks, which was introduced in 2019.3. It turns out that change was a bit too radical for some, so now it’s possible to customize the colors used. In the PhpStorm preferences, go to Editor | Color Scheme | PHP | PHPDoc, clear the Inherit values from checkbox on the elements you’d like to customize, and then set the desired colors.
