CodeLobster IDE provides IntelliSense for Phalcon, which helps you write code more quickly and efficiently. IntelliSense saves you time by putting what you’re most likely to use at the top of your completion list. The IntelliSense suggestion box includes Phalcon methods.

The suggestion list of the automatic completion appears as soon as you start typing. Pressing Tab or Enter will insert the selected item. You can trigger IntelliSense in the Editor window by pressing Ctrl + Space or using Edit | IntelliSense | Autocomplete main menu item.

CodeLobster IDE can quickly switch between Controllers and Views in the Editor when developing. You can navigate between Template (/views/...) and Action(/controllers/ControllerName/Controller.php/Action).

When you inside a Controller press Alt + O (or select Edit | Go to corresponding file main menu item) to jump to the corresponded View.

For example, you can jump from SiteController::actionIndex() to views\site\index.php file.
