Implement Multi-IDE Support #107
Description
Multi-IDE Support
Description
Expanding mycoder to support multiple Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) would significantly broaden its user base and allow developers to use the tool within their preferred coding environment.
Proposed Features
- VS Code Extension: Integration with Visual Studio Code
- JetBrains Plugin: Support for IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and other JetBrains IDEs
- Vim/Neovim Plugin: Integration for terminal-based editors
- Consistent Experience: Maintain feature parity across different IDEs
- GitHub Copilot-Compatible API: Support for existing Copilot-compatible editor extensions
Benefits
- Broader user adoption by meeting developers in their preferred environment
- Seamless workflow integration without context switching
- Improved productivity through direct editor integration
- Ability to leverage IDE-specific features and capabilities
Implementation Considerations
- Modular architecture to share core functionality across different IDE integrations
- Handling differences in extension APIs between IDEs
- Maintaining consistent user experience while respecting IDE conventions
- Testing across multiple IDE versions and platforms
Inspiration
This feature is inspired by Tabby's multi-IDE support, which allows the tool to integrate with various development environments including VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Vim/Neovim.
