In Sublime I was quite fond of the "Split selection into lines" shortcut (super+shift+l). However I cannot find an equivalent of that in PHP Storm 8, I've found a "Split into lines" function in the Edit menu but feeding it either \n or \r doesn't seem to work. Does that function exist in PS ?
Another way of splitting a string literal is to set the caret where you want to split the string, press Alt+Enter and choose Split string. This context action will also add necessary quotation marks and + , but both parts of the string will stay on the same line.
To select ranges as multiple rectangular selections, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Click and drag the mouse over the desired parts of code. As a result, you will have multiple selection ranges in each affected document line. On lines that are shorter than the rectangle, the selection will only span to the last character.
By default on PHPStorm 10+, you can toggle the Column Selection Mode with:
CMD + SHIFT + 8
Of course, you can configure any stroke you like. I like to keep the original one and add the one that matches Sublime which is CMD + SHIFT + L. Here is how:
There is a "Split Selection into Lines" action in the Extra Actions plugin.
