Setting encoding for new projects in PhpStorm

I am trying to force PhpStorm to encode newly created files as UTF-8, instead of Windows-1252 (which seems to be the default).

I know I can set "Project encoding" in "settings/editor/file encodings", which sets the default encoding for all newly created files in the current project.

However I'd like to set default encoding for new projects, so I will not have to change it every time I create a new project. I've searched far and wide on the internets, but with no success.

Do you guys know how to set file encoding for new projects?

Thanks in advance.

All available settings that are used as defaults for newly created projects can be set at File | Default Settings....

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2016.3/accessing-default-settings.html

You can also access them directly from Welcome screen -- will be just Settings under Configure drop down (could be called Preferences on Mac -- cannot verify that as I have no Mac). But in this case default settings will be mixed with IDE-wide settings as well.

In both cases the options you need to change will be under Editor | File Encodings.

When creating new projects, you can set a proper IDE Encoding, its right next to the Project Encoding:

File Encodings PHPStorm

When you edit an existing project, it automatically recognizes the current encoding and offers you to convert/reload the project in a proper encoding.
