Install the required plugins

The plugins are available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.
Press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and select Plugins.

Code navigation for templates
To navigate to the declaration of a template, position the caret at its usage and press Ctrl0B. Alternatively, CtrlClick the usage.
Creating a Template by using a Quick-Fix
Situations in which you refer to a template that is yet to be created are quite common. Instead of switching to the Project tool window or the Navigation Bar and using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts to navigate to the correct directory and create a new template, use the Create Template quick-fix provided by the Symfony Plugin. This will create the template at the correct location in your project and bundle and immediately open the template in a new editor tab.
