I recently made my repo public and released a rather primitive version but already usable of a plugin to support Candid inside any intellij based editor.
Since I made this topic, I will keep using it as a sort of changelog but with more visual. I just made an update to v0.1.0 fixing a few things and features.

Please note whenever I make an update although the entire release process is well automated through github actions - the jetbrains marketplace is manually reviewing every update. It usually takes around 1-2 business day. There’s also the option to directly grab the plugin on github in the release section if you want it faster.
@Alaanor looks great! I don’t use IntelliJ so I’m wondering if this is (or could be) implemented using the language server protocol so that other editors could benefit from it as well.
Nope, unfortunately intellij way to make a language plugin is different from implementing a custom language for the language server protocol that most editor use. I was aware of this constraint from the beginning and still made the choice to go with this. There’s some github repo that have tried making the conversion possible but nothing of production grade. Imo this is something that has to be build twice, let’s hope someone will do it during the supernova hackathon
