WebStorm 2023.2 Help

Icon reference

Many entities in WebStorm are marked with icons: there are icons on toolbar buttons, in the gutter, in the Project tool window, and so on. The majority of icons have tooltips that allow you to quickly grasp their meaning. Hover over an icon and wait for the tooltip with some brief information.

File types

To view the list of file types recognized by WebStorm, in the Settings dialog (Control+Alt+S), go to Editor | File Types. If a file in your project is marked with the Unknown file type icon, it indicates that WebStorm can't recognize it. In this case, you can register and configure a new file type.
