About CMake Plus

Extend CMake language support in the IDE's Editor:

- Highlighting/recognition (on top of CMake simple highlighter and based on sophisticated syntax-aware algorithms) of such command arguments as:

* Variable's reference and definition (user-defined and cmake built-in);

* Properties (user-defined and cmake built-in);

* Targets reference and definition;

* Module's names;

* Command's named parameters (aka keyword arguments) for Scripting, Project and Utility Modules commands;

* Generator expressions;

* Path or Url structures;

* Policies (CMP<NNNN>).

- Variables, Properties and Targets navigation: Go to definition / Find usages (*see Notes).

- Variables, Properties and Targets completion (no scope recognition yet).

- Completion and quick-docs for variables, commands and it's parameters of Scripting Commands, Project Commands and Utility Modules commands (other commands support coming).

- Generator expressions quick docs and completion (no semantic rules yet).

- Parameters info for Scripting, Project and Utility Modules commands (use `Ctrl/Cmd + P`).

- Inlay Hints for Scripting, Project and Utility Modules command parameters (could be customised/disabled in Settings);

- Regex language injection is implemented based on command's signatures: highlighting and inspections provided by IDE built-in Regex language support;

- Folding regions for functions, macros, if/for/while blocks (pre-2022.3) and:

* Multiline brackets comments (pre-2022.3);

* Consequent single-line comments (pre-2022.3);

* Multiline function's arguments.

- "Comment with Line / Block Comment" (`Ctrl + /` and `Shift + Ctrl + /`) actions (pre-2022.3).

- Structure View (for the current file) with:

* Function/Macros declarations;

* Variable (re)definitions;

* Properties (re)definitions;

* Targets definitions;

* Filtering by Functions, Macros, Variables, Properties, Targets and Sorting alphabetical;

* Navigation in both directions (Structure View <-> Editor).

- Quick Documentation for CMake commands, modules, policies, properties, and variables. Clion's (or other IntelliJ IDE with built-in CMake support) Quick Docs priority given.

- Syntax and Operation inspections:

* Variable is set but never used;

* Usage of possibly not defined Variable;

* Builtin commands should be used in lowercase;

* End-of-block commands (else, endif, etc.) should not take arguments.

* `Modules` and `Module's commands` name case.

* Usage of CMake reserves identifiers.

* Unrecognized parameter by command signature.

* More parameters required by command signature.

- Edit | Extend/Shrink Selection for Variables and Generator expressions

- External Formatter integration added: developed for and tested with cheshirekow/cmake_format

Require CMake simple highlighter to be installed!

See Visual Overview for more details and screenshots.

*Note: Variables scope of visibility is partially implemented: simple Function and Directory scopes only. Block, PARENT, nested functions scopes, etc. cases are WIP.

*Note: Properties scope of visibility is not implemented yet, i.e. all properties within Project are shown as global.
