PhpStorm Hotkeys

This page lists 166 keyboard shortcuts across 10 categories: Debugging, Editing, General, Live Templates / Snippets, Navigation, Refactoring, Running, Search/Replace, Usage Search, and VCS/Local History. It covers both macOS and Windows key mappings side by side.

Navigation and Editing are the best starting points since they come up constantly during normal coding. Once those feel natural, Refactoring and Search/Replace will give you the biggest speed gains for PHP and JavaScript work.

Yes, many shortcuts differ between the two platforms. The page shows both mappings together, so make sure you are reading the column that matches your operating system.

General, Navigation, and Editing shortcuts tend to be the ones you will use daily. Categories like Live Templates / Snippets, Usage Search, and VCS/Local History are more situational and work better as a reference you look up when needed.
