How to:
- Download and copy the xml file(s) to your templates folder:
- Windows:
<your home directory>\.<product name><version number>\config\templates - Linux:
~/.<product name><version number>/config/templates - OS X:
~/Library/Preferences/<product name><version number>/templates
e.g. ~/Library/Preferences/PhpStorm2016.1/templates on OS X for PhpStorm 2016
-
Restart PhpStorm.
-
To see all templates, go to Preferences->Live Templates and expand the Template Group.
It's hard to remember shortcuts when there are a large number of options. A
more efficient way is to take advantage of PhpStorm's Insert Live Template
shortcut. Type as few or as many letters as you want and press Cmd + J. Then
continue typing to filter the options.
For example, for the Schema Builder, type Sc or Sch or Schema and press Cmd + J.
Note: In the preview version of PhpStorm 8, live templates show up
automatically as you type the first few letters. You should still press Cmd + J to filter out everything else (classes, variables, etc).

All Route verbs are labelled get by default, but you can change it easily once the shortcut is expanded:
