System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Migrates IdeaVim extensions from the old VimExtensionFacade API to the new @VimPlugin annotation-based API, enabling modern plugin development patterns and improved compatibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • New API module: api/ folder - contains the new plugin API and migration guides to help convert existing extensions.
  • Migration patterns: extract execute logic, inject API access via api(), and register actions with api.mappings.
  • Use Case: when upgrading an existing extension to adopt the annotation-based API while preserving behavior and tests.

Quick Start

Inject the API in the extension, extract code into a VimApi-backed function, and migrate registrations to the new api() mapping approach.
