Answer 1

Super late answer, haha, but here is the exact option to enable selecting $ in variable names:

File | Settings | Editor | General | Smart Keys | Select variable name without '$' sign on double click

Should be disabled.

Answer 2

Please enable this option: File | Settings | IDE settings | Editor | Smart keys | Use "CamelHumps" words.

And check if this one enabled: File | Settings | IDE Settings | Editor | Honor "CamelHumps" word settings when selecting using double click.

Answer 3

For me, PhpStorm on Linux will only select entire variables on double click if I have the option:

turned off. See documentation here.
