OpenSCAD Language Support for IntelliJ Platform
This is a plugin for the products based on IntelliJ Platform (Idea, PyCharm, etc.) for the OpenSCAD language. It supports :
- syntax highlighting
- formatting
- code folding support
- structure views
- code completion
- code navigation
- library support
- actions for opening OpenSCAD and exporting model
A color scheme coming close to what the built-in OpenSCAD editor uses is provided and can be selected in the preferences : Editor/Color Scheme/OpenSCAD/Scheme/OpenSCAD.Default.
Formatting options are configurable in the preferences : Editor/Code Style/OpenSCAD.
OpenSCAD executable is searched on standard paths. If your installation is custom, configure it in the preferences : Languages & Frameworks/OpenSCAD Language. Global libraries are automatically detected.
It is planned to implement the rest of IntelliJ Platform features :
- refactorings;
- intention actions;
- etc.

Test development version
We have implemented GitHub actions so that the plugin gets automatically packaged by GitHub.
To test a specific version, go in the Actions tab. Click on the execution related to the branch or the sha-1 you want to test, download the zip file and unzip it to get the plugin zip distribution archive inside main zip file.
In IntelliJ, go in File -> Settings... -> Plugins -> 
-> Install Plugin from Disk... and select the distribution zip file you have unzipped.
Restart IntelliJ to test development version.
Not that you can also get a distribution zip files from forks to test PRs.
