I just started using one of the JetBrains IntelliJ based IDEs (RubyMine) but I find the line highlighting really distracting. See pics below. Any way to turn it off?
By default, IntelliJ IDEA highlights all detected code problems. Hover the mouse over the widget in top-right corner of the editor and select another level from the Highlight list: None: turn highlighting off.
You can configure the line status colors on the Editor | Color Scheme | VCS page of the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S . To disable highlighting of the modified lines, clear the Highlight modified lines in gutter checkbox on the Version Control | Confirmation page of the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S .
@o'rety ctrl + w is for highlighting only, and it is contextual. To highlight a whole line will be many presses of ctr + w - just to get the line highlighted. There is a shortcut called "Select Line at Caret" - interestingly, it has no value by default. I personally had this set to ctrl + alt + shift + , .
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Editor | Color Scheme | Language Defaults | Semantic highlighting. Select the Semantic highlighting checkbox and customize the color ranges if necessary.
If you are referring to the active caret row highlighting, it can be configured in the Editor
| Colors & Fonts
