Selecting entire variable with double click

In PhpStorm, when you double click on a variable, say $_helloWorld, it just selects a part of the variable. For example, when you double click on World and it will select just that instead of the entire variable.

I want it to select the entire variable $_helloWorld when I double click on any part of it.

Does anyone know how to do it?

In actual versions you can find this settings in

File > Settings > Editor > General > PHP > Smart Keys

Check "Select variable name without '$' sign on double click" It's done

For the folks who are using Mac, this is what you got to do:

Step 1: Select preferences option in PhpStorm Menu

Step 2: Once the window appears get the Smart Keys settings like so, which will be inside the following menu

Editor > General > Smart Keys

Step 3: Uncheck the checkbox next to Honor "CamelHumps" words settings when selecting on double click

For Rider it's under

File > Settings > Editor > General > Typing Assistance

and then at the bottom the last checkbox:

Honor "CamelHumps" words settings when selecting on double click

should be turned off.

Super late answer, haha, but here is the exact option to enable selecting $ in variable names:

File | Settings | Editor | General | Smart Keys | Select variable name without '$' sign on double click

Should be disabled.

For me, PhpStorm on Linux will only select entire variables on double click if I have the option:

File | Settings | Editor | General

Honor "CamelHumps" word settings when selecting using double click

turned off. See documentation here.

Using WebStorm on Windows 8.1 I was able to fix this by going to 

File > Settings > [IDE Settings] > Editor

and disabling the following option:

Honor "CamelHumps" words settings when selecting on double click

Please enable this option: File | Settings | IDE settings | Editor | Smart keys | Use "CamelHumps" words.

And check if this one enabled: File | Settings | IDE Settings | Editor | Honor "CamelHumps" word settings when selecting using double click.
