I want to disable brace contents highlighting in RubyMine. It's very distracting. Instead of having the entire string highlighted I only want the braces themselves highlighted and if that is not possible I need it disabled. Is this possible?
Things I've done already to no success:
Enabled/disabled all highlight options under Settings/General to no
effect. I'm running RubyMine v8.0.3.
Read the documentation.
jetbrains.com/idea/help/highlighting-braces.html?search=highlighting
I've also read this document that states how to disable highlighting
of usages by simply pressing escape - it does not work.

current brace highlighting that I need disabled
Your file type seems to be HAML.
In Settings, go to Editor > Colors & Fonts > HAML. In the lower right area, you see demo code in HAML. Look for the right spot in the code and click on it.
You will probably click on the second line because there is some code in braces. In this case, RubyMine will select the entry Injected code in the list. The check box Use inherited attributes tells you that this settings is inherited.
Now you have to choose:
If you want to change the setting for Editor > Colors & Fonts > HAML - Injected code, switch off Use inherited settings, then switch off "Background".
If you want to the settings for injected code in all languages: Click on the link "General" (on the right). RubyMine will switch to Editor > Colors & Fonts > General - Injected language frament. Now switch off "Background"
Before modifing anything, you have to create a new scheme. The default scheme is read only. Click on Save As..., choose a name and press 'OK'.
Open the Settings/Preferences dialog.
In the Editor page of the IDE Settings, select the check box Highlight usages of element at caret to enable automatic usage highlighting.

Usually in Visual Studio Code, if I want to delete or modify a certain word from my file, I can highlight one of the words and then continuously press CTRL+D to highlight the rest of that same word in the file. But, in CLion, I am unable to find the equivalent shortcut.
I've Googled and searched here on StackOverflow but no luck. Maybe this shortcut doesn't exist in CLion? Can anyone confirm?
EDIT: It's also known as "Select next occurence" in other JetBrains products.
EDIT: The answer is ALT+J
it is alt+j in all of jetbrains products
So I just want to hit on a couple of options that you have, because I work with both CLion & VSCode as well, and needed the same exact keybinding in CLion.
KEYBINDING FUNCTIONALITY SEMANTICS
Unfortunately, it appears that no one cares about standardizing semantics when it comes to editor functionality/features, and keybindings. It can make moving from one editor to the next difficult, and flat out something many people just would rather not have to do.
Please Note:
_I am no expert on JetBrains IDE's, I am somewhat of an expert with VSCode though. I say this because, IDK how much JetBrains IDE's vary from one to the next, however, from having CLion, IntelliJ, and Access to Ryder I can tell you that in the standard IDE's the keymappings seem near Identical, but in Ryder, the keybindings are totally different.
DEV ENVIRONMENT
BOUND-KEYS (dev env's default)
SEMANTICS
CLion
ALT+J
"Add Selection for Next Occurrence"
Visual Studio Code
CTRL+D
"editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch"
Visual Studio 2022 (IDE)
SHIFT+ALT+.
"Edit.insertNextMatchingCaret"
the The correct semantics for referring to the functionality you seek in CLion is contingent on the environment that its being implemented in. The following demonstrates how to correctly reference it in both JetBrains & Visual Studio Environments:
Add Selection To Next Find Match Ctrl+D editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch
Once you know the semantics of the functionality that you want to customize, you no longer have to resort to using any editors default key mapping. You asked about, CLion, so I will demonstrate, in an image (or screenshot) below, how you can change the keybinding to be anything you want it to be.
To get to the window you see in the photo navigate by following the steps below.
Starting from the text editor, find the word 'FILE' on the 'MENUBAR' located at the very top of your screen.
Click on 'FILE' to drop open the 'FILE MENU'.
Scan through the __FILE MENU'_s ITEMS, until you see the selectable ITEM named 'SETTINGS' (it will have a wrench icon next to it).
4 Select 'SETTINGS' by left-clicking it, and you'll open the 'SETTINGS MENU' open.
Another 'LIST' will appear on the left side. There will be 'BOLD ITEMS' and regular weighted SUB ITEMS. Find the 'BOLD ITEM' that reads 'KEYMAP'.
Select 'KEYMAP'.
The image above shows the view in my IDE of the keymap menu. You can see a red arrow, as well as a green arrow, in the image.
GREEN ARROW
The green arrow shows where you can change the entire Keymap, as you can see in the image, mine is set to VSCode, and as far as I can tell, every keybinding is the same as in VSCode. You do have to download the VSCode keymap plugin though.
RED ARROW
The red arrow shows where the "Bound Keys" are listed. Right click on the keybinding and you'll see a menu that reads
Add Mouse Shortcut
Add Keyboard Shortcut
Add Abbreviation
"it may also have options for removing keybindings and mouse shortcuts, it all depends on how the keybinding you click on is configured"
To set the keybinding select Add Keyboard shortcut, and set it to what ever you want.
Is it possible to disable formatting and colors to source code in Eclipse.
I want my java code look like the poor notepad (black and white, etc). don't ask why, I just need answers. Thanks.
I don't think there is a quick way to do this as it is such an unusual thing to do. But you can change the syntax coloring options in the Preferences in 'Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring'.
Changing syntax coloring options as suggested earlier is a good way to achieve that.
You can also consider just not using the Java editor and using the plain text editor instead: to do so, either open your files with right-click > Open With > Other... and select the regular Text Editor. From the Editor Selection dialog, you should be able to override the default editor for your Java files to this Text Editor.
Note that the text editor doesn't provide completion, or documentation on hover, but you'll still get validation/problem reporting.
Does anybody know a shortcut to fold/unfold (collapse/expand) all classes/methods in a php file using netbeans?
To Collapse: Ctrl+Shift+Minus (on the keypad)
To Expand: Ctrl+Shift+Plus (on the keypad)
This works regardless of what language your using, (Tested on PHP, HTML, CSS & Javascript)
But you can find out the keyboard shortcuts easily yourself, and even change them:
Open the Options Dialog (Tools -> Options)
Then Select Keymap
Enter "Collapse" into the input field labelled "Search" and all shortcuts for that action are displayed. You can do the same for "Expand All"
I found the Collapse All function to be a pain because it even collapses the nested blocks inside of your methods. There seems to be no collapse methods shortcut.
If you are like me and just want the methods and comments collapsed by default this can be configured in the preferences.
Under Editor->Folding in your Preferences click on the language dropdown and select PHP.
Check the 'Functions and methods' checkbox.
Check the 'PHPDoc documentation' checkbox.
This will probably yield the result you are looking for.
I also like to uncheck the 'Show summary' checkbox to reduce visual noise.
You can still use the Expand All shortcut key as described in the other post if you wish to see everything.
In Emacs when I hit tab anywhere on a line, the line will indent correctly (or at least to the mode settings). When I hit tab again it will move back to the next block. When programming Python this really helps since closing a block is done by lowering the indention level.
Is there a way to configure Eclipse to do the same?
Currently, I have to erase the leading white space then hit tab.
This question is a reposting of a superuser question.
Try ctrl-i (Cmd-i on osx) to indent the current line or a selection inside eclipse (if you're using default key binds as opposed to emacs). Or, if you want a different key bind, go to Appearances > General > Keys and change the bind for Correct Indentation to key(s) of your choice
In Eclipse, go to Windows -> Preference -> Java -> Formatter.
In Active Profile drop down box, select any profile, click Edit on right of it.
In Profile Dialog box opened, you can change a lot of things like Indentation, New Line, Braces, White Spaces etc.
Alternatively, if your profile is altogether different than standard one, Create a new active profile and then edit it accordingly.
Somehow I've turned on hidden characters in Eclipse. It's not the "whitespace" characters in the general editor preferences. When turned on, it adds another layer of hidden characters over the existing ones.
Then I have things like
\r\n
Does anyone know what these are and how to remove them?
It is under Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors. There is a checkbox labeled "Show whitespace characters". If you uncheck this the editor switches back to normal.
If you click on the link (whitespace characters) (<= v3.6) or (configure visibility) (>= v3.7) in this line you will get a popup window, in which you can define which characters eclipse is supposed to consider as whitespace characters.
In this popup window you also get the option to define the transparency in which each whitespace character is displayed in the editor, which you can use to (indirectly) change their foreground colour. I'm just mentioning it here, because it took me about half an hour to find this setting! ;-)
There is a toggle button 'Show Whitespace Chars' on the Eclipse toolbar
A great tip about using 'quick access' from eclipse forum:
CTRL+3 swc
Allows to turn them on and off
The right shortcut is Ctrl + N
UPDATE From Eclipse 3.7 version, something is changed... Now you have to go to:
Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors
CTRL + . does the job.
For Aptana Users
To toggle hidden characters in Aptana on and off, use the following keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+Alt+W
I am using Eclipse Oxygen and can see this option to toggle whitespace characters:
It is actually in two places...
Sandkastenliga points out the obvious one, but you can also show white space with a shortcut key combination. The key combination is separate from the text editor preferences and will superimpose additional characters when active (it uses \r and \n for carriage return an line feed respectively instead of the symbols used by the text editor preference.)
Go to preferences > general > keys and look for the binding for the 'Show Whitespace' command.
I have the text editor preference turned on, so I removed the binding for this command altogether (it was set to Ctrl+. in my profile) to prevent accidental activation as it doesn't affect the other preference.
Go to Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors
Uncheck the "Show whitespace characters" option on the right side of the page, then click "Apply" at the bottom of the page.
Since this is not a standard setting, it could be the result of one of your extra plugin.
Did you try starting your eclipse with the -clean parameter?
Do you reproduce the issue with a fresh Eclipse installation?
Go to Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors and restore defaults.
I have done this several times by accidentally hitting some keystrokes.
If you go to Windows/Preferences/General/Keys you will see all the keyboard shortcuts you have.
Mine is set to Control + .
I had to place my cursor inside the document and do it a couple of times to make it work because there is also a keyboard shortcut for Control +
Hope that helps.
You can add "Show Whitespace Characters" button in toolbar by customizing your perspective.
It also contains buttons to toggle word wrap, and toggle selection mode.
Go to Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective > Action Set Availability, then select "Editor Presentation" action set:
This works in Eclipse Neon.
You can also add a key binding for this action.
Go to Preferences > General > Keys > "Show Whitespace Characters"
Sorry this is a bit vague but it's a while since i used Eclipse and i do not have it installed. I think this is it ..... in one of the menus you will find the Eclipse settings, there are two set's of settings, current project and overall Eclipse, you mat need to check them both. In there are various menus in tree form that allow you control the actions and look and feel. But some of them are nested so there is an overall control but some packages have their own options in a sub menu set. The menu's will expand when you click them and i'm afraid you need to walk through them all.
Eclipse > Preference > General > Editors > Text Editors > Show WhiteSpace characters.
