Project tree icons should contain more info about contents of the node
Dmitry Kashyn
Scenario
In some cases project folders contain "source" dirs quite deeps and it is hard to check whether sources are even present or properly wired. It would be great to see some clue that "this folder contain sources" or "this folder contains tests" by having appropriate dots next to the folder icon or so.
Actual result (the result the user is seeing now):
We need to open 5 level of nested folders to learn that there is or there is no source there after all
Desirable result (the desirable result after the feature will be implemented):
Project view appearance providing more info on the nature of the folder.
Additional information
If it exists, attach logs (you can collect logs via Help \| Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data), screenshots, reproducing samples (code snippets, files, project), environment description (OS version, IDE version, ...)

Implement cycling through clipboard history by repeatedly invoking a CyclePasteAction within short timeframe .e.g within one sec
SANDIP CHITALE
Scenario
I am trying to contribute an action which will supplement the Paste from History... action of JetBrains IDEs. Here is my idea:
My action will do the following:
It will check if the same action was invoked within the second.
If it was not:
It will simply behave like the standard paste action and paste the first item in the history. Reset an index counter to 0.
If it was:
It will first invoke the undo action to undo the last paste, then increment the index and then paste the next item in the clipboard history.
This basically behaves like Paste from the History action without invoking the Clipboard History chooser. Of course it will work best when bind to a keyboard shortcut so that the user can invoke the action repeatedly (within 1 second).
My experience is that 1 second is a good duration but it could be made a setting. It could even be made pending until user does some other action or moves to a different tab etc.
Actual result (the result the user is seeing now):
This functionality is not available.
Desirable result (the desirable result after the feature will be implemented):
This functionality is available.
Additional information
Actually I have created a pull request for the implementation.

New UI Accessibility - Can't see Wireframe Icons
Caleb Brandt
I like the New UI, actually. I love the first-class Git integration, and I can get behind the change from words to icons to make it less cluttered.
Literally the only reason I can't use it is because of the wireframe. I barely have visual processing issues - just the normal amount of ADHD - and the tiny wireframe icons are extremely difficult for me to visually parse. This isn't for lack of trying, either. A wireframe gear in the corner of a tiny wireframe folder is sadly just a wireframe blob to me, and the silhouette is basically absent.
This is especially prominent when using the Darcula theme, which - as someone with periodic migraines - is much easier for me to use than the higher-contrast themes.
I basically can't differentiate file and folder types at a glance now, so I've had to switch back to the classic UI. Which is a shame, because I do like the new UI for the most part.
Anyway, I figured you might want some unbiased new UI feedback that isn't just "new thing bad".

Add Run configuration type that starts/opens browser window at indicated URL
Ruurd Pels
More of a feature...
When in the services window there are all manner of possibilities to look at and manipulate processes. I am missing one. I think it would be nice if it was possible to also add a Run configuration that lets you navigate to a certain URL in a browser OR would switch to the browser window opened earlier.
As an extra would it be possible to create those Browser Runtime configurations to be created from REST API endpoints for example.

AMX Language Support
alex
Add AMX language support to Rider (AXS, AXI, APW files).
NetLinx Studio is the only solution to work with AMX files, but this an old "IDE", out-of-date and honestly pretty bad in comparison with other softwares such as VSCode or JetBrains products.
Rider would be an awesome IDE for the AMX environment. If we could at least support the workspace and language, without all the tooling which can be used from standalone executables.

Add a way to hide dot-folders
user567999
I appreciate that .idea and other dot-folders are now seen in the project pane, but there should be a way to hide them away on demand.
I couldn't see a way to hide it, be it from the three-dots menu or within Settings
Also, there is no reason to expand the .idea folder when a new project is created.
Not the dot-folders came from nowhere and became very aggressive ;)

Add option to close all split tabs of a given file at once
user567999
Steps to reproduce
Open multiple split editor tabs with the same file file1
Expected
Some action to close all copies but one
In fact
No such action
Additional information
Please add a setting to the Closing Policy section (Settings \| Editor \| General \| Editor Tabs) named something along the lines of:
Close all split editors at once.
I'm talking about multiple tabs of the same file, being a result of splitting.
The splitting command creates multiple tabs of the same file (as opposed to - for example - Microsoft Word, where another "viewport" is created within the same document, each having its own scrollbars). Unfortunately, when you close one of them, IDE leaves the "split-copies" open - so you then have to close each individually.
> This is completely counter-intuitive, because when you close a file it means you're done editing it, so why keep yet another copy (or copies) still open?
If you think there are usage scenarios where this sort of policy would hurt someone's habits then please provide a command which I could then map to cmd-W, named something along the lines of Close along with split tabs, and please leave it enabled at all times, even when the tab had not been split and doesn't have other tabs open.
\----
Now looking at the Similar Issues suggestions I need to clarify before this ticket gets confused with others:
I'm not talking about closing all tabs
I'm not talking about closing all tabs in a group
I'm talking about multiple tabs of the same file (eg. my.component.ts) that should get closed when one of them is closed, as per the above-mentioned policy.

Please add support for the Power Fx language to JetBrains IDEs
A A
Microsoft Power Platform uses Power Fx as its primary low-code language. Power Platform has a basic built-in editor, but this is only suitable for short snippets of code. When I need to prototype something, or write more complex queries, I often write Power Fx in a scratch file within IntelliJ IDEA, then copy the result back into Power Platform.
More information about Power Fx is available here:
These tasks would be easier if JetBrains IDEs had the following features for Power Fx code:
Syntax highlighting
Auto-complete (of all the core Power Fx functions, keywords etc)
Markdown renderer support (so you can insert a Power Fx code block in a Markdown document, and have it be syntax highlighted / checked)
Some degree of code validation/checking (to the extent that is possible outside of Power Platform)
Therefore, please could you add support for the Power Fx language to JetBrains IDEs?

Add a "MUTED" icon for breakpoints in IDE toolbar
Rick Kukiela
It would be a massive QOL improvement if the "listening" icon in the top of the IDE.
The problem I am having with the current setup is that occasionally, during a previous session I will have muted breakpoints but forgot to unmute them. Then days later I will need to debug again and breakpoints will not be hit leaving me scratching my head. The main issue with this is that there are several points of failure that could cause this:
Xdebug not enabled in PHP.
Xdebug cookie not being set in the request (browser plugin not enabled).
PHPStorm not enabled for listening (easy to see right now).
Path mapping issues.
Random / unforseen quirks and/or bugs causing it to not work.
Breakpoints are muted.
etc.
When I have breakpoints muted, but do not have the debug panel open, it's not conveyed to me anywhere I can see in the IDE that my breakpoints are muted. Personally I have been "scarred" by my environment turning xdebug in PHP off on me randomly due to INI/PATH issues, so checking if breakpoints are muted is not usually my first thing I think of when this happens. This is a stress add to my day when this happens, if I'm being honest, because of the unexpected failure of my tools without any explanation as to why.
My ask is that we change the listening icon in the main window toolbar:
To show the "MUTED" icon when breakpoints are muted:
Or add the muted button next to it in the top bar so we can see if breakpoints are muted (and toggle it there) which would resolve the issue of needing to have the debug panel open to know the mute status and to to toggle it.
Taking this a step further, could the debug panel icon also be updated to indicate mute as well when mute is enabled:
Note: I did see there is 5-year old issue that is similar to this:
It seems there might be some issue with what I'm suggesting when there are multiple debugging sessions active. I was not aware this was something that could even be done. Maybe that is more likely something someone would do working in other languages (rather than PHP). However if the multple session thing is an issue here, maybe we can just add a little icon "badge" with a yellow circle that sits top / right of the listen icon that indicates there is some level of mute enabled somewhere and forego the global toggle, if that's an issue.
The most important thing is that I can see there is some level of breakpoint mute enabled somewhere on the main toolbar...
