Is there a shortcut to delete the currently open file in PHPStorm?

Question

When I navigate to a file deep in directories with Ctrl+Shift+N, I see that the file can be deleted, so I navigate to the project pane, and open all the nested directories and then finally delete the file, which is annoying.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to just delete the file currently open in the editor?

Answer 1

Yes, there is:

1. Press Alt+Home to focus the navigation bar. (⌘+↑ on Mac)

   

2. Then press Delete. (⌘+⌫ on Mac)

   

Even if the navigation bar is turned off, it'll pop up over the editor window.

Answer 2

External tools can solve this.

1. Create an external tool. The program to run is rm, and for the parameters use the $FilePath$ macro. I also tell it not to open the console.

2. Add a shortcut in keymap to this external tool to quickly delete the current file open in the editor.
