dsh-sidebar-gdhighlight

When you open a Godot project in DSH's better-sidebar, .gd and .gdshader files render as plain text, stripping away the syntax colors you take for granted in the Godot editor. dsh-sidebar-gdhighlight closes that gap: it injects full GDScript 4.x and GDShader syntax highlighting into the sidebar via CodeMirror 6, and pulls its entire color palette directly from the Godot 4.7 editor_settings file. Keywords, control-flow statements, base and engine types, comments, strings, node paths, annotations, and more each get a distinct hue, so code in the sidebar looks just as it does in the editor.

The plugin covers the syntax details that matter in daily work. For GDScript that means multi-line strings, string interpolation, $Node and %Unique paths, and &"StringName" references, plus a dedicated definition color for functions, variables, signals, and enums. For GDShader it recognises uniform and varying declarations, built-in variables such as ALBEDO and VERTEX, and the usual GLSL math functions. A small floating button also appears when you select any snippet in the sidebar, letting you insert the selection as a fenced code block into the chat composer with a single click.

If you use DSH as your AI companion for Godot development and frequently read, compare, or quote script code in the sidebar, dsh-sidebar-gdhighlight makes both the reading and the asking significantly smoother, with zero configuration beyond the one-time install.
