When I first learned Java, I was using an IDE called "BlueJ." It had this feature called "Scope Highlighting" which made it very easy to read blocks of code. See picture below:
As you can see on the first picture, on BlueJ the whole Background of a scope is highlighted with one color.
In PhpStorm or even in most of IDE's today, I get only a highlighting for a scope, which I set the cursor on, and only in a very minimalist way, as you can see on the left side of the picture below:
Is there a way, or a Plugin for PhpStorm out there, to get it to look more like BlueJ's scope Highlighting???
Thanks
edit:
What I've have found out so far: There is something alike for HTML, (Setting>Editor>General>Appearance:Enable HTML/XML tag tree highlighting:Set opacity higher than 0) Then you will get this:
Something like this for the other languages (PHP, JS,...) would make me really happy :)
So far I have found two solutions for this.
Also, it provides the option to highlight the current scope by Ctrl + Right Mouse Click
or Ctrl + Shift + Plus
. The name of the Shortcut is: Plugins | Rainbow Brackets | Highlight Current Scope
and the highlighting looks like this:
Editor Actions | Move Caret to Matching Brace
/ Editor Actions | Move Caret to Code Block End
/ Editor Actions | Move Caret to Code Block Start
