Godot-IDE

Godot IDE Extension

This addon extends Godot's native code editor with additional functionality and usability.

Why use this?

If you're looking for a similar experience to other IDEs for developing in GDScript integrated in Godot, this plugin is ideal.

The Godot-IDE extension doesn't collect your data; it's completely free and open source.

How to use

• Script Spliter:

  • Use the new toolbar on the right to split/merge columns/rows.
  • You can create/remove a split with the right mouse button context menu. (Depends on the number of opened scripts)
  • You can also add popout windows from the same context menu

• Quick Folds:

  • Use Alt + num to fold all lines of the specified indent. e.g. Alt + 1 folds everything, Alt + 2 folds only second-level indented blocks.
  • Hold Shift at the same time to show folded lines. e.g. Shift + Alt + 1 unfolds all code.

• GD Override Functions

  • From the right mouse button context menu the Override Virtual Functions can be opened.
  • This allows you to automatically generate override methods for virtual funcions in parent classes.
  • Use Alt + insert to open the override functions window.

• Fancy Search Files

  • Use Ctrl + Alt + Space to open the file search window where you can easily search all files in your project by type, name, etc.

• Fancy Search Class Files

  • Use Alt + Delete to open the class & script search window where you can easily view where individual classes and scripts are being used in your project.

• Fancy Filters Script

  • In the script editor two new tabs have been added to the left panel: Settings and Script Info. The Script Info tab gives you an overview of the current script and also allows you to view the properties of all classes which the current script inherits from. The Settings tab lets you configure the Script Info tab to your liking.
  • Use Ctrl + T for show/hide the panel.
  • Use Ctrl + G to switch between script info and the script list panels. (Only if separate script list is enabled)
  • Flat mode in the settings tab allows a simple display of files/class members.

• Macro-N

  • Create Macro with Context Menu (RMB) (Show only to create Macro-N if you have text selected)
  • With selected text use Ctrl + E for Invoke Macro.
  • With selected text use Ctrl + SHIFT + E for Invoke Macro with bypass.

FAQ

• Why is the folder called _Godot-IDE_?
  • This is due to the way addons are loaded in Godot, which is alphabetical. This naming gives priority to this addon, avoiding any incompatibility for other plugins.

I hope this is helpful. Personally, I've decided to do everything in gdscript for compatibility reasons, but I might create a C++ extension if a future feature requires it, as in cases I've had for generations or using recursive functions that still offer poor performance.

Now use it, modify it, break it, fix it, and improve it to your liking.
