Convert to PHP short array syntax

Convert array() to []. Right-click (file|directory) > Convert to php short array syntax

Typing hooks

If you want to enable this feature, Please check Options(Tools > Options > PHP > Enhancements).

This is avaible with the following operators:

• Object operator ->
• Double arrow operator =>

e.g. type $this- => $this->, type array('key' =) => array('key' =>)

$this->property;
$array = array('key' => 'value');
$a = ["foo" => "bar"];
$f = fn() => "arrow function";
$result = match ($condition) {
    1, 2 => foo(),
    default => bar(),
};

Note:

• If you want to type ==, please type = after =>.
• If you want to type =, please delete >. (It's difficult to handle all cases correctly...)
