PhpStorm: how to Make the inspector / debugger ignore stuff in comments?

I don't need it telling me I spelled the word "danggit!" incorrectly. I just want it to ignore the comments.

like this:

<?php
 $a = 123;// simple as, danggit!
    /* danggit, this frustrates me! */

also

"The word 'thru' is informal. Consider replacing it with through."

I dont want to see this, especially in comments

Solution

  • I don't need it telling me I spelled the word "danggit!" incorrectly. I just want it to ignore the comments.

    You can configure where this "Typo" inspection should be applied at the following screen: Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections | Proofreading | Typo.

    Danggit, now i'm getting "The word 'thru' is informal. Consider replacing it with through." I dont want to see this, especially in comments.

    This is a different thing in action. This time it's Grammar.

    Settings/Preferences | Editor | Natural Languages | Grammar and Style -- Here on a Scopes tab you can configure the same. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/grammar.html#scope

    ... or/and configure what rules to use (on a Rules tab): https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/grammar.html#rules

    enter image description here

    In case if you need to configure too many of them, well... just disable the Grammar checks completely: Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections | Proofreading | Grammar
