Is there a way to save the configuration of my brackets editor to git?
The brackets preferences docs don't seem to indicate a way to do this yet.
Brackets stores your preferences as JSON. The location of the file depends on the preference scope:
User-global preferences
Your default settings
Located at %BRACKETS_APPDATA%/brackets.json
Project-level preferences
Overrides any number of preferences on a project-specific basis
Located at the root of your current project as .brackets.json

I am writing a Wordpress plugin that depends on another plugin with netbeans.
The project is just containing the files of my plugin and I want to keep it that way to have a clean git repository.
The problem:
I rely on another plugin and want to understand how that plugin works. For this, I want to "step through" the other plugin.
I want to do this on my localhost configuration.
I have basically two destinations:
The project is in my home directory in my github folder
The server files are under c:\wamp64\www\wordpress ...., where the localhost is running
The project is essentially set up correctly to copy files from my github directory to the localhost path (Properties -> Sources)
Then:
I set an include path to the localhost -> wordpress folder in the project properties, and when I now search for a definition in my code that refers to the other plugin, the corresponding file is opened (did not work before setting the include path)
Debugging essentially works, but when I step into a function of the other plugin, the bar becomes grey and the corresponding file is not opened.
Can I change some setting for netbeans to open up the other file (not in the project tree) and step through it?
I have found a reasonable workaround.
I just created a new PHP project in Netbeans with existing sources.
As source, I used the entire wordpress installation in the wamp server path, i.e. c:\wamp64\www\wordpress
I can now 'debug' and step through this new project, but I also need to add the corresponding breakpoints in the files from the server path.
It requires some discipline as I have to open the files from my plugin twice, once in the server path and once in the project path, but only edit the files in the project path.
It works 'ok', but I would still be interested to hear if someone has a more proper solution to this.
How can I change the default Open File... directory in Netbeans 8.2 for Java SE\ME\EE?
I've edited my projectui.properties file line projectsFolder=DIRECTORY but that only works for projects. I am trying to open individual files without opening the entire project.
File was found (Windows) under "C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules"
Unlike setting the default project directory in NetBeans, you can't modify the default Open File... directory because there is no such "default directory" to change.
NetBeans behavior when you select Open File... from the File menu (on Windows 10 at least) is as follows:
[1] On the first occasion within a NetBeans session the Documents icon will be pre-selected in the Open dialog window, and your Documents directory will be opened. That's just the way NetBeans works, and cannot be modified. Although you can change the Documents folder that will be opened, you probably shouldn't. See below for details**.
[2] Within the Open dialog you can obviously navigate to any alternative folder to open a file. Thereafter, within that NetBeans session only, that alternative folder will be opened by default on the subsequent File -> Open File... selections, until an alternative directory is selected.
~~~~~
** To change the Documents folder in Windows (which will also change the folder that NetBeans opens on the initial use of File -> Open File..):
In Windows File Explorer select Desktop -> This PC -> Documents and right-click.
Select Properties from the drop down menu, and then select the Location tab in the Document Properties window.
Enter the name of the new folder to be used as the Documents folder and click OK.
Restart NetBeans, select File-> Open File... and the folder NetBeans opens will now be the one you specified in the previous step.
That may appear to have the desired affect, but other Windows applications also use the Documents folder, and may depend on files in that folder, so it shouldn't really be changed without good reason. If you really need to open files in NetBeans that are not within any project the cleanest approach would be to place such files in the Documents folder if possible.
One solution would be to move the NetBeansProjects in the Documents folder mentioned above to the desired place and to place a permanent symlink to the desired folder. Instructions for latter referenced here https://superuser.com/questions/1020821/how-to-create-a-symbolic-link-on-windows-10
Watch out if the secondary location could be temporary (like a network drive) that it's always in place before you launch Netbeans.
I'm trying to do a complete search through Atom, looking for a specific text.
Well, this sounds very simple, using Command + Shift + F but, there the node_modules are not tracked and the content inside of those directories are not scanned.
I'm not sure if it is because are untracked files defined by .gitignore or the packages are excluded.
How I can do a full search in my opened project?
This is probably due to the Exclude VCS Ignored Paths setting in Atom's Core settings. Please try the search again after unselecting the respective checkbox in the settings:
You can find this setting on the first page of the Atom Settings, a bit down under Core Settings.
The setting's description describes what is excluded from functionality like the fuzzy finder and the search and replace function. You're probably running into that at the moment...
For MacOS:
Atom > Preferences > Settings > uncheck Exclude VCS Ignored Paths and now I have a full search and now, you can search through all the files.
I like to keep my project files clean.
E.g. I keep all the files I manipulate in my project folder, and deploy them on to my local developer server on save.
e.g. if I write a theme for WordPress I create:
wp-content
wp-content/themes/
wp-content/themes/mytheme
I certainly don't keep all the files of the whole WordPress installation in my project.
I include those over the include path, then it shows as external libraries
those include all files of WordPress including mine.
Now here comes trouble
When I now press F3 on one of my functions I get "Choose declaration"
well I don't want code on my local deployment never! I always want to code in my project source files, that is, not in "external libraries"
so basically
when I add the include path, I want to have the ability to say
"excluded sub-directory of that include path"
so I can exclude my deployed files from the library. Do you understand what I mean?
is that possible?
"well just remove the include path"
no! without include path I cannot debug. Without include path I don't get auto-complete
I figured it out
the trick was in the end to not use "include path" but the project structure editor and add a different content root folder.
FIle - project structure
or
CTRL + ALT + SHIT + S
looks like this:
click on your module, click on add content root folder, click on the target deploy folder of your deployment scripts, and then exclude the stuff you don't like
it will create a new folder in the project explorer but i don't care about that really.
Remove it from the include that i mentioned in my post earlier, i mean from settings - php - external libraries. YOu don't need that any longer
hope it helps
In Finding a key binding definition in CodeRush #RoryBecker advocated putting all my custom keyboard shortcuts in a 'custom' folder. How do I ensure these settings are backed up, and also so that I can copy those settings from one development machine to another.
If you create all new shortcuts within a "Custom" folder then the file you'll need to backup is "Settings.XML\IDE\Shortcuts_Custom.xml" folder
The location of the Settings.XML folder will vary depending on your system and it's settings.
