IntelliJ / Jetbrain Plugin for Syntax Highlight

[StephenBudd]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to using IntelliJ/JetBrains tools and I'm in search of a custom language plugin that supports code highlighting. Has anyone here used JetBrains for editing QVS files? I'm aware that there are plugins available for VS-Code and Sublime Text, but I'd prefer to stick to just one tool if possible.

I have a brief update on the topic.

I've discovered a solution that works well for me. While developing a plugin proved to be overly complex, I found success with a combination of "Live Templates" and "File Type Settings."

Each keyword tab now triggers a different color scheme, and autocomplete functionality is enabled for the keywords.

As for the second part, I've begun incorporating functions into the Live Templates. Using Ctrl+J, I can paste functions along with helpful text and set variables upon entering.

Additionally, I've created some file templates for new tasks, such as creating new apps.

While a custom language plugin would still be optimal, until one becomes available, the method described above serves my needs effectively, I believe.
