I am in the market for a new IDE but am confused about the overlap between some of Jetbrains&#39; offerings. It looks like IntelliJ IDEA has plugins that allow you to do Node.js and php development. 

Can IntelliJ IDEA do everything that WebStorm and PHPStorm do through plugins or do they have special features not available in IDEA? I am hoping to have a single polyglot IDE for all development.

Can IntelliJ IDEA encapsulate all of the functionality of WebStorm and PHPStorm through plugins?

I am very unfamiliar with the `shelve` aspect of Git. If `stash` is used to put aside unfinished work what is `shelve` then? What would you use it for?

For example on Update Project (from VCS menu)

How to make phpstorm display line numbers by default?&lt;br&gt;
Couldn&#39;t find that option. It&#39;s kind of annoying to turn them on manually for each page.

I&#39;m using TypeScript style with single quotes, double quotes are used exclusively in HTML templates.

WebStorm/PhpStorm auto import adds `import` statements with double quotes and ruins the style. I guess this applies to all JetBrains products.

How can this behaviour be fixed?

Word wrapping in PhpStorm

I have used WebStorm from JetBrains for almost 4 years now. It&#39;s a fantastic IDE for many reasons, but one of the best features is that it saves versions of files outside of version control. So if you accidentally delete files or lose files before they are saved by your VCS, WebStorm has a copy of them and there are visual diff tools to use. This feature has saved me on more than one occasion.

**My question is** - for VSCode is there some feature/plugin that will auto-save copies of files as they change? VSCode will save the files to some central location, or perhaps in the `.vscode` folder in the local workspace?

The feature in WebStorm is available from &quot;Local History -&gt; Show History&quot; from a folder or file. Here is an article about it:
https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2012/10/using-local-history-for-code-changes-tracking/

In IntelliJ, I&#39;m getting this strange error message when I try to build from the build menu

&gt; Error: java: release version 10 not supported

I don&#39;t understand this, since in *Project Structure*, I have these settings set: 

&gt; Project SDK: 9.0  
&gt; Project Language Level: SDK Default   
&gt; Module Language Level: Project Default (both modules)

In my pom.xml files, I have these properties set in both modules: 

    &lt;maven.compiler.source&gt;9&lt;/maven.compiler.source&gt;
    &lt;maven.compiler.target&gt;9&lt;/maven.compiler.target&gt;

I have no idea why it&#39;s trying to use JDK 10 for anything, but I still get that message. 

I&#39;d be happy to use JDK 10, but my project doesn&#39;t work in that version, so I&#39;m going back to see which versions it works in. I have SDKs installed for version 1.4 through 10.
 
I&#39;ve also tried building using JDK 1.8, but I get a slightly different error message:

&gt; Error: java: invalid target release: 10 

I&#39;ve found that I can build from the command line using JDK 9, but I need to build from my IDE.

Can anyone tell me how to build my project using JDK 1.9 or 1.8?

I just downloaded [CLion][0] from https://www.jetbrains.com/ because I just love the rest of their products.

However, I&#39;m having problems configuring it. I&#39;m not able to compile and run my application (a simple &quot;hello world&quot;).

When I try to run the application, it refers me to &quot;Edit configuration&quot;, so I added a new application and now I have this problem:

 1. I cannot specify the &quot;target&quot;; the only thing I can do is set &quot;All targets&quot;.
 2. I cannot specify the &quot;configuration&quot; (all tutorials I found have Debug or Run here).
 3. Executable? Hmm. Should the path to GCC be here? (C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe)

The rest of the configuration looks optional.

My CMakeList.txt looks like:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
    project(test)
    
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS &quot;${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11&quot;)
    
    set(SOURCE_FILES test.c test.h)
    add_executable(test ${SOURCE_FILES})

I tried to run this with &quot;All targets&quot;. I also tried to set the executable. I tried everything, but I&#39;m not able to make it work.

Can anyone advise?

I am writing a project using the Go language with GoLand IDE by Jetbrains.

While writing the code, GoLand shows me an error message such as `&quot;unresolved reference&quot;` when the reference do exist and that the program compiles and runs correctly. 


Here is a similar (but simpler) example of some code that I have found here on stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18042439/go-append-to-slice-in-struct) to reproduce this issue. 

The same error message appears even though I have implemented the methods just a few lines above. 

```
package main

import (
	&quot;fmt&quot;
)

type MyBoxItem struct {
	Name string
}

type MyBox struct {
	Items []MyBoxItem
}

func (box *MyBox) AddItem(item MyBoxItem) {
	box.Items = append(box.Items, item)
}

func main() {

	item1 := MyBoxItem{Name: &quot;Test Item 1&quot;}
	item2 := MyBoxItem{Name: &quot;Test Item 2&quot;}

	box := MyBox{}

	box.AddItem(item1)
	box.AddItem(item2)

	// checking the output
	fmt.Println(len(box.Items))
	fmt.Println(box.Items)
}
```

`box.AddItem(item1)` and `box.AddItem(item2)` are marked red as an error. If I move my cursor above it, it says `unresolved reference &quot;AddItem&quot;`. Yet the code compiles and runs. And as this was the solution to an other stackoverflow question, I do not think that the code is wrong. Furthermore I cannot find any mistakes in it.

[EDIT: I load the code from a remote server and edit it locally on my private pc. After finishing my changes, I upload it to the remote server (using GoLands tools like &quot;Browse remote host&quot;) and build and compile it there. After trying it out locally with the very same code, the error message sometimes is there and sometimes not. I am totally confused]
