How to edit .env files in PhpStorm?

Question

I generated new .env file with copy .env.example .env command in PhpStorm terminal. Then created .env file then but I can't edit in PhpStorm. When I double clicked it's open external editor (Notepad++).

Answer 1

1. Settings/Preferences | Editor | File Types
2. Find Files Opened in Associated Application entry in the top list
3. Remove associated entry for .env files from the bottom list (Registered Patterns).
4. Re-associate such pattern with another (more appropriate) File Type (eg "Text Files" .. or whatever other format that would be)

Answer 2

There is a plugin for .env files. It also helps by autocompleting env() and getenv() functions. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9525--env-files-support

Answer 3

Go to file -> settings -> Editor -> File Types -> Recognized file types and select the "Text" -> add some patterns

.evn
*.env
.evn.*
*.env.*
