When reformatting a file, phpstorm replaces empty lines with whitespace to just empty lines, e.g. ^[tab][tab]$
to ^$
. How do I disable this?
You cannot -- http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-73161
I was thinking that disabling stripping whitespace characters altogether would do the job:
By changing
Settings | Editor | Strip trailing spaces on Save
(which nowadays hasModified Lines
option)
but apparently it only works on "Save".

Now you can do that on code reformat as well:
Settings/Preferences
Editor | Code Style
$language$ | Tabs and Indents | Keep indents on empty lines
check box(this option was introduced after this answer was provided: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-103941#comment=27-807213)
