Obscure PhpStorm Hacks
PhpStorm looks like just a text editor. It is not.
You use PhpStorm every day and still reach for the mouse to do things a shortcut would do in one keystroke.
PhpStorm ships with hundreds of inspections, refactorings, and live templates turned off by default, so the features that would save you the most time are also the ones you are least likely to ever stumble onto.
This course walks through the shortcuts and settings worth turning on, one workflow at a time.
You set up refactoring shortcuts, navigate a codebase without touching the file tree, configure live templates for repeated code, and end with a PhpStorm setup tuned to how you actually work.
This sits on the developer tools branch, off the main path. When you are ready to get back on it, Magento 2 Coding Kickstart is Essential skills, step 1. It is already in your Library account, no credit card needed.
You leave with an IDE that matches your pace, not the default install.
