The SitePoint PHP blog has a recent post from Bruno Skvorc sharing some PHPStorm productivity "hacks" and shortcuts you can use during your development in this popular IDE.

This article was partially inspired by this Reddit thread, and will be mentioning and demonstrating some of the shortcuts found there as well.

• Keyboard shortcuts and hacks
• Using Plugins
• Dark themes for readability
