PhpStorm Move Caret to Next Blank Line

Question

I'm used to the keyboard shortcut Ctrl DOWN in many editors that will jump the caret (cursor) to the next blank line in the code. This allows for quick navigation of the code.

Perhaps I completely missed it, but the action of "move caret to next blank line" or something like that is not in the Keymap list for the editor.

Do you know if such an option is there, and if not, can you recommend a good way to navigate the code? "Move Caret to Code Block Start" is not very intuitive to me when I'm moving about the code and the simple page-up, page-down are too coarse.

Edit: As @CrazyCoder says, this feature does not appear to be available. I've added a ticket for it on YouTrack. If you are also interested in this feature, please vote it up.

Answer 1

There is no such feature in PhpStorm (and in IntelliJ IDEA platform that it's based on) and surprisingly no one has requested it yet. Feel free to add your feature request.

If you are looking for the list of the most common navigation shortcuts, refer to the Default Keymap Reference that you can open from the Welcome screen, print, fold into a pyramid and put on your desk.

Answer 2

Since the 10/09/2015, there is the functions move caret backward a paragraph and move caret forward a paragraph (source).
