Software Update: PhpStorm 2022.1.2

JetBrains releases several development environments, such as IntelliJ Idea targeting Java, CLion targeting C and C++ and DataGrip targeting sql. PhpStorm focuses on PHP and provides on-the-fly error prevention, autocompletion, code refactoring and debugging, and also handles HTML, CSS, Coffee and JavaScript. For an overview of the possibilities, we refer to this page† To use PhpStorm, a license required. For business and home use you will have to pay for it, but if the software is used for education or non-commercial open source projects, the license is free. JetBrains recently released version 2022.1.2 of PhpStorm and the major changes and improvements made to it can be found below:

Double Shift on terminal focus (IDEA-290102†

We fixed an issue where using double shift for Search Everywhere didn’t work when the terminal window was in focus.

Keyboard navigation in the Create New Class dialog (WI-66414†

When creating a new class, an issue was making it impossible to use the keyboard to navigate between the fields in the dialog. This bug has been fixed.

Backspace with multiline editing (WI-66145†

There was an issue with multiline editing where pressing Backspace only had an effect on the first line in multiline selections. This behavior now works properly again.

Git diff from the commit panel (IDEA-291970†

In some cases, clicking a commit in the commit panel didn’t show the proper Git diff, but instead just opened the file. This has been fixed.

Destructor return types (WI-66138†

The IDE was offering a suggestion to add a return type to destructors, which isn’t allowed in PHP. This suggestion has been removed.

Pasting in blade files (WI-66304†

We fixed some cases where you weren’t able to paste text into Blade files.

Tailwind autocompletion (WEB-55718†

Autocompletion for Tailwind was not working properly in some cases, this has been fixed.

Improved TypeScript support (WEB-55516† WEB-55517† WEB-55518†

We’ve added support for several new TypeScript 4.7 features:

• Conditional types
• typeof on #private fields
• Optional variance annotations for type parameters

Closing or minimizing PhpStorm when interacting with UML diagrams (IDEA-292463†

On some occasions, you weren’t able to close or minimize PhpStorm when interacting with UML diagrams. This has been fixed.

@phpstan-import-type and @phpstan-type fixes (WI-66247†

We fixed an error where a type imported by @phpstan-import-type wasn’t being properly recognized when used in @phpstan-type.

@psalm-type in return tag of closure (WI-65705†

PhpStorm wasn’t able to recognize @psalm-type types as the return types of closures. This has been fixed.
