Configuring the IDE

Last modified: 15 November 2024

Settings are preferences related to resources, file colors, version control options, code styles, and so on.

WebStorm allows you to configure the settings for specific projects or globally.

Types of settings

Global settings apply to all projects of a specific installation, or version, of WebStorm. Such settings include IDE appearance (themes, color schemes, menus and toolbars), notification settings, the set of the installed and enabled plugins, debugger settings, code completion, and so on.

To configure your IDE, select File | Settings for Windows and Linux or IntelliJ IDEA | Settings for macOS. Alternatively, press CtrlAlt0S or click the Settings button on the toolbar.

Settings that are NOT marked with the For current project icon in the Settings dialog are global and apply to all existing projects of the current WebStorm version.
