Getting Started with WebStorm for Students

As a student, navigating through WebStorm's vast array of features can be overwhelming. However, there are several ways to discover new features and enhance your productivity. One approach is to sort the list of features by group and note which features you use frequently. This helps you identify rarely used features in the same group as the ones you use more often.

To access WebStorm's Productivity Guide, select Help > My Productivity from the main menu. The guide displays a list of useful features with statistics and tips to help you get started quickly. Additionally, you can open the Tip of the Day dialog by selecting Help > Tip of the Day from the main menu. This feature provides you with useful hints every time you start WebStorm.

If you're new to WebStorm or need more information on a specific topic, there are several ways to learn more about the software. You can use the feedback form to provide suggestions and report any issues you encounter. To do this, select Help > Show Log in Explorer (for Windows and Linux) to locate the WebStorm log file.

Another way to get help is by using the status bar at the bottom of the screen. You can copy a message from the status bar and paste it when searching for solutions or add it to your issue in the WebStorm issue tracker. This feature allows you to search for similar tickets, add comments, and vote for existing issues.

If you encounter a bug or would like to suggest a new feature, you can use the WebStorm issue tracker to submit your report. Before submitting, it's a good idea to search the issue tracker for similar reports and feature requests to avoid duplicates.

For more direct support, you can create a request for the support team by selecting Help > Contact Support from the main menu. If you're unable to find the information you need in the online help, you can contact the JetBrains support team directly.

Finally, it's worth noting that changes added to online help during the release cycle may not be available in offline help. However, you can use the WebStorm Help plugin to access help pages offline via a built-in web server. To do this, select Help > 'Your Language' Help from the main menu and follow the prompts.

In conclusion, mastering WebStorm's features takes time and practice. By following these tips and utilizing the various resources available, you'll be well on your way to becoming proficient in using WebStorm for your studies.
