#Rubymine alternative code
Code aware extensions are usually added on via plugins, distorting the editor’s basic purpose. Use command + to move through your navigation command history.Ī text editor doesn’t know what kind of text it’s editing. RubyMine even provides commands to navigate backward and forward through executed navigation commands. Use option/alt + shift + control + Up/Down to move between these changes. In RubyMine, file changes are highlighted (in various colors) in the editor’s gutter. Version control introduces an interesting way of navigating. In a split tab layout, for example, a vertical split between test and non-test code, command + shift + T will move between the splits.Īfter running your tests, use command + option/alt + Up/Down to quickly navigate between failing tests. Use command + shift + T to move between a file and its corresponding test file (and vice-versa). When test driving a Rails project, it’s great to be able to quickly switch between test and non-test code. When editing, use control + command + Up to be presented with a menu of related files. RubyMine’s awareness of Rails allows you to quickly move between models, views, helpers, controllers, and their tests. Within an overridden method, command + U will navigate to its superclass definition. Use command + U within a class declaration to navigate to its superclass. If you’re interested in the subclasses of a particular class, press command + option/alt + B on a class object. Navigate to the declaration of the type of a variable with control + shift + B. Press command + B when on a variable to navigate to its declaration. If you don’t want to open the declaration, use command + Y to quickly view it in a separate window. Press command + B when your cursor is on a class/module object to open its declaration. However, I’ve never been able to successfully configure ctags to work as powerful as RubyMine’s version. This is often available in terminal text editors via ctags. Navigating directly to a type declaration is one of RubyMine’s best features. Instead, use command + F12 to open a file structure dialog, then begin typing the method name to navigate to it. If you know the method you’re looking for, then navigating by method is too slow. Use control + Up/Down to move forward and backward by method. This allows you to quickly scan method signatures, and browse implementation.
When browsing an unfamiliar file, it’s common to want to move through it one method at a time. It allows you to quickly find classes and methods. This shortcut performs a fuzzy search of project symbols. In this post, we’ll look at some of these unique navigation commands for OS X.Ĭommand + option/alt + O is for when you know what you’re looking for, but not where it is. By being aware of programming constructs such as methods, and classes, RubyMine demonstrates the difference between IDEs and text editors. RubyMine may make simple movements tedious, but it adds many powerful code-based navigations. However, I saw this disadvantage as an opportunity to research alternative navigations. Unfortunately in RubyMine, performing these basic movements requires using the arrow keys. For maximum speed, the commands for these simple navigations are usually available on home row keys so you don’t have to use the arrow keys. Terminal text editors often allow you to navigate in terms of basic text objects, such as, characters, words, or lines.
