rolleyes - Ok, so how do I get at least my text editor (Notepad++) to give me four spaces with a single keystroke?
Because there is no damn way I am going to start hitting the space bar four times.
You should use an IDE like Netbeans or PHPStorm
Why should I?
Noone can force you but it’s just much more convenient.
I have found IDE’s to be far too resource hungry while offering me no advantage whatsoever. I hate seeing my computer lock up or running slow.
I despise code hints.
My latest project has over 500,000 lines of code and I have no trouble whatsoever knowing where everything is.
So, tell me why you think, not just vague suggestions.
Checks code w/o running it and suggests improvements.
Provides code analysis tools and displays results inline.
PHP-aware refactoring.
It provides much better navigation than you can get with just editor. Find usages is priceless.
Visual step by step debugging.
Integration with git.
Database manager.
Local history.
etc.
Ahh, but I have tools which I can run as needed. Navigation of what?.. the code? I have no problem there, sorry. As I said, I totally despise code hints… nothing worse than a distraction popping in my face when my mind is working. IDE’s are just way too resource hungry… which is ok if you like things slow I guess…
My humble editor is a little more powerful than you think.
I suggest you to try Sublime Text 3. It is more powerful than Notepad++, it is cross-platform, and it will offer you to convert tabs into spaces. So every your tab will be worth 4 spaces. It is very fast. I don’t like IDEs too. I use NetBeans only for code reformating. For example i do not like to write loops and conditional sentences in K&R style, I like Allman style.
This is what I preffer:
if (cond)
{
// do something
}
So when I find some code that is written is K&R style ( and that is what yii2 folks are using ), I fire up NetBeans to reformat it and then start coding with Sublime. Too bad that sublime can not reformat code like this, I have tried with some plugins but they does not do what I want. But beside that Sublime Text 3 is amazing. I really recommend you to try it.
Here is one screenshot that will hopefully draw your attention
@Nenad, what’s the theme you’re using?
It is Spacegray but I customized it.
