'lo all,

I have always used VIM as my defacto editor when coding. Recently I have been working on some huge (messy) PHP code I inherited. As a result I am looking for an IDE which can reference the included class methods during code completion.

As you can imagine VIM doesnt cut it when it comes to code completion. I have to manually look these up with a recursive grep in the class directory, then "VIM" it. This is slowing me down to a near standstill. :wtf:

Anybody recommend an IDE which can do the completion as well as VIM keybindings. I am so used to VIM keybindings that working with a mouse slows me down equally and just doesnt "feel" right. :wtf:

Must be available on OS X as this is my dev platform of choice. I might consider win or *nix if the IDE is _really_ good.
 
Hi,

PHPStorm from Jet Brains is what you are after. It's the best PHP IDE hands down.

Also check out this free video series on getting up to speed with PHPStorm.

Enjoy!

Much appreciated, awesome suggestion!

VIM bindings work 100% Need to spend some to familiarise myself with the full IDE.
 
Sublime text, if you after a fast IDE

It's fuzzy search code complete/file find/etc is amazing
