Question

Just started using PHPStorm and I like the FTP sync function that’s built-in. Is there a way for me to have the “Sync With Deployed mywebsite.com” screen pop-up using a keyboard short-cut? If not, any way I can bind a set of keys for this task? Thanks!

Answer 1

It’s not possible to assign a keyboard shortcut directly for the server specific synchronization action, only for the generic Sync with Deployed to... action that will show a pop-up with the list of configured servers. If you have only one server, just confirm it with Enter or a number.

However, you can record a Macro:

1. Edit | Macros | Start Macro Recording.
2. Tools | Deployment | Sync with Deployed to <server name>, close the sync window.
3. Edit | Macros | Stop Macro Recording.
4. Set macro name to something like Sync with <server name>.
5. Go to File | Settings | Keymap, under Macros node right click on the new sync macro that you’ve just recorded and Add keyboard shortcut.
