PhpStorm : Combine multiple lines by using icons

Question

Normally on notepad there are some icons which allow us to combine multiple lines of code to end up having only one line.

I am using PhpStorm 10.0.1, is there any way for me to get this option.

Kindly help me solve this problem

This is called "folding" code, not "combining" it, and you should already have similar icons on your screen in PHPStorm. See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/10.0/code-folding.html — elixenide, Jun 23 '16 at 22:54

PhpStorm has the same thing.

Click on the to collapse the block of code. Then click on to expand it.

This is explained in more detail in the documentation on code folding

If you don't see these icons, go to Preferences > Editor > General > Code Folding and enable Show code folding outline.

Thanks for answering but on my PhpStorm, the icons do not appear – Lei Lionel Jun 23 '16 at 23:31
I've been using PhpStorm for many years, and they have always shown. – Barmar Jun 23 '16 at 23:34
I've updated the answer with the preference item that controls it. – Barmar Jun 23 '16 at 23:34
Thanks, the icons appears now but I need to hover them before they can be shown. Is there any way to display them by default ? – Lei Lionel Jun 23 '16 at 23:45
They appear by default for me, I don't know why it's different for you. – Barmar Jun 23 '16 at 23:49

Maybe you should open a case with JetBrains tech support. They've always been very helpful to me. – Barmar Jun 23 '16 at 23:51
The problem is faced was because of the theme I was using. Thanks. – Lei Lionel Jun 24 '16 at 12:30
