PhpStorm: Project-Quick-Search with suggestion list?
Hello!
I have many projects created with PhpStorm. How can I find a project quickly to open? It is best if I receive a suggestion list while typing a project name. Is it possible?
Thank you in advance!

Hi there,
If you have project already opened ... I would suggest to use "Frame Switcher" plugin -- it supports speed search so you can quickly narrow down the know projects list. Not sure if built-in "recent project list" can do the same (never used it).
Standard "recent projects" list on Welcome screen also supports speed search .. but it does not search in the groups (if they are collapsed) -- Speed Search only searches through already opened nodes/visible text.
Thank you! But I always have only one project opened and need to look for other projects to open.
In the window "recent project" they aren't sorted so it doesn't help to find quickly.
Huh ?..
>But I always have only one project opened and need to look for other projects to open.
So .. what's the problem?
Frame Switcher plugin should be used when some project is already opened.
When you open a second project IDE should ask you how you wish to open it -- in current window or in new one etc.
>In the window "recent project" they aren't sorted so it doesn't help to find quickly.
I will repeat it again: use Speed Search -- just start typing.
Oh, I thought the projects have to stay opened all the time. .. thank you! I am going to try it.
I've just installed the plugin and tried it. Exately what I was looking for, perfect! Thank you!
