Root cause: body is user-select: none and each feature had to opt back in; the Markdown preview (and other read-only views) never did, and the app-wide contextmenu guard left no Copy item.
Fix: shared selectableText class (src/ui) for read-only content, and a fallback Copy context menu from browserGuards when right-clicking a selection or a selectable area (component menus still win).
Siblings covered: Quick Documentation / hover / completion docs, hover errors, Quick Definition, debugger value tooltip, inspection messages, message dialogs (no drag on body text), notification titles, About dialog; existing selectable consoles now get Copy too.
Verified in-app on macOS: select in Markdown preview, right-click Copy puts the text on the clipboard; tab context menu unchanged.

* feat: Second pass aligning interactions with IntelliJ IDEA
Result tool windows
- Next/Previous Occurrence (⌥⌘↓/↑) across Find, Usages, Problems, TODO,
Inspection and Hierarchy, with an "N of M" status hint
- Find: reuse the unpinned tab, Pin Tab, source preview, group by file or
directory, exclude moves to the next result, Rerun
- Usages: tabs with pinning, exclude and preview
- Problems, TODO, Inspection: no autoscroll by default, severity-first sorting,
context menu with quick fixes and copy description
- Trees: F4/⌘↓ jump to source; speed search Home/End and arrow handling
Find in Files, bookmarks, navigation
- Replace mode: Enter replaces the selection, ⇧⌥Enter replaces all, multi-select
- Pin Window toggle, highlighted read-only preview, search/replace history (⌥↓),
Alt mnemonics, search context filter (comments / string literals)
- Mnemonic bookmarks (⌥F3, ⌃⇧digit, ⌃digit), ⌘F3 bookmarks popup, descriptions,
⌘-click gutter toggles a bookmark
- Select In popup (⌥F1); Recent Locations double-click and Delete;
Search Everywhere remembers the query per tab
Code insight and refactoring
- Extract/Introduce continue with in-place rename and name suggestions;
expression and occurrence choosers with live highlighting
- Safe Delete confirms first; numbered Refactor This
- Quick Documentation history, in-popup links and a Documentation tool window;
Quick Definition switches between targets and shows the whole declaration
- Goto chooser lists symbol names and can pin to the Find window
- Parameter Info Tab/⇧Tab, intention preview, Reformat dialog and summary,
inlay hint ⌘-click and context menu
- Live templates: Enter moves to the next field, two-step Esc, ⌘J as a lookup,
language surrounders with mnemonics
- File Structure popup as a filterable tree; Show Usages filter and preview;
call hierarchy jumps to call sites
Editor
- Paste re-indents each line by default; Move Statement moves whole statements
in and out of blocks and re-indents
- Type over closing quotes of existing strings; ⌘D/⌘⌫ cover folded regions;
⌥⌫ deletes the preceding word
- ⌃G / ⌃⌘G whole-word rules and wrap hint; double-modifier caret cloning
- Visual-column block selection, nested Collapse All, recursive folding,
fold selection toggle, Go to Matching Brace, gutter drag selects lines,
sticky line and error stripe clicks, Insert toggles overwrite mode
Run, VCS, workbench
- Gutter icons show the last test result; Modify Run Configuration; test tree
hides passed tests, context menu and assertion diff
- Stack frames resolve by fully qualified class name; context run chooser
- Inline Smart Step Into
- Git Log multi-select filters, "me" and date range; favourite branches,
Fetch and tags in the branch popup; stash Keep index and Unstash options
- Terminal tab titles follow the shell; Distraction Free persists; gear menu;
sticky balloons move to the notifications tool window after a while
* fix(vcs): Label restored local changes as yours after Smart Checkout; name the branch checked out
Conflicts from restoring stashed changes show the user's uncommitted
changes on the left like other operations, and the checkout notification
names the new branch instead of the previous one.
* fix: Close the merge editor on Apply; confirm before terminating a running Run tab
Like IDEA, applying a merge result closes its tab, and closing a Run tab
whose process still runs asks before terminating it (with a Settings
toggle and "Do not ask again").
* fix(terminal): Don't start a new session in the background after closing the last tab
The hidden Terminal window stays mounted, so it reopened a session as soon
as the last tab closed. It now opens the Local tab only once the window is
shown again, as IDEA does.
* fix(vcs): Start the merge result from a three-way merge; close the editor on Apply
The result pane now begins with non-conflicting changes merged and each
conflict showing the base text, resolved from the side panes, instead of
raw conflict markers. Apply now reports success, so the tab closes.
fix(search): Match File Structure filter on word starts
* fix: Limit Smart Step Into to the paused line; drop usages hints on callbacks; show full intention titles
Adapters that list every remaining call in the function (debugpy) made Smart
Step Into fall back to a chooser that offered calls from later lines. Targets
are now narrowed to the calls on the paused line, so they are picked in place.
Anonymous functions and callbacks no longer get a 'no usages' hint, and
intention titles are no longer cut short when there is room for them.
* fix: Undo / Redo from the Edit menu and Find Action use the editor's history
They ran the webview's native undo, which misses programmatic edits such as
templates, completion and refactorings, so nothing happened in the editor.
* feat(nav): Complete file paths and flag unresolved web file references
Path completion in href/src/url()/@import, Markdown links and path-like strings, folders first. HTML and CSS paths that name no file get a 'Cannot resolve file' warning. File references resolve in the backend like IDEA's: relative to the file, /-rooted against the project and resource roots.
* feat: Align editor, workbench, run/debug and VCS interactions with IntelliJ IDEA
Keymap
- Let AltGr characters through instead of firing Ctrl+Alt shortcuts (Windows/Linux)
- Double Shift: strict press/release timing, ignored while typing or after Shift+click
- Chords wait 2s and swallow an unmatched second stroke
- Drop CodeMirror defaults that clash with IDEA keys; ⌘Enter is Split Line, add
Scroll to Center and Code Block Start/End
- Add missing IDEA defaults (⌃J, ⌘Y, ⇧⌘C, ⌥⌘Y, ⇧⌘M, F9 Resume, ⌘R Rerun, …)
Editor
- Tab inserts at the caret; smart Backspace to the proper indent; Enter continues
a `//` comment; per-language line comment placement
- Back/Forward records navigations only; ⌘F searches the selected text
- In-place rename; ⌃Space inserts a sole candidate; commit characters only for a
focused lookup; usage highlighting survives edits; ⌥Enter offers fixes from the
caret line; ⌘-hover shows declaration info only for navigable targets
Workbench
- Tool windows: primary and split area per side, six Move To anchors, layout migration
- ⌘W closes tool window content; Shift+Esc from the editor; closing a tab
activates the left neighbour; preview tab and tab limit follow IDEA defaults
- Switcher lists open editors and tool windows; Recent Files Delete removes items
- Search Everywhere tab/scope behaviour; popups close when the window deactivates
- Project view: Copy/Move dialogs on paste, skippable usage search on delete,
new-file input cancels on blur; Settings search Esc clears the filter
- Status bar breadcrumbs open a children popup; notification timeouts
Run / Debug / Build / Terminal
- Run asks to stop a running single-instance config; Rerun restarts silently;
"Allow multiple instances" option
- Run chooser: Enter runs, Shift debugs, F4/Delete/digits
- Type into the console for stdin; Stop covers debug sessions
- Log (Shift+click) and temporary (Alt+click) breakpoints; independent suspend/log
options; Evaluate prefill and history; changed-value highlighting; expandable hints
- Build window opens on failure and jumps to the first error
- Terminal confirms closing a busy tab and lets IDE shortcuts through
VCS
- Correct ours/theirs labels during rebase, cherry-pick and revert
- Smart/Force Checkout; remote branch checkout updates the local branch
- Partial commit by changed block; inline before-commit check results
- F7 continues into the next file; Rollback Lines; Commit and Push; Amend message swap
- Branch delete with Restore; force push confirmation; editable push target;
update summary with the incoming commits
* chore: Regenerate bindings
Go to Declaration and Cmd-click said "Cannot find declaration" on HTML href/src, CSS url() and @import, Markdown links and CSS selectors: language servers expose paths as document links, not definitions, and none resolves class/id to selectors.
- ide-lsp: textDocument/documentLink (lsp_document_links), resolving links that lack a target.
- Editor: when the server has no definition, follow its document links, then URLs and quoted / Markdown / url() paths in any language. Server file links are checked to exist; root-relative paths also resolve against resource roots. Cmd-hover underlines the whole link.
- ide-language: tree-sitter web references (class / id attributes, href="#id", var(--x)) and .class / #id / --var definitions from stylesheets and <style> elements, indexed as symbols. web_goto looks them up by exact name (ProjectIndex::symbols_named), using the open document's unsaved text.
- Detect public/ of package.json modules as a resource root (Vite, Next, CRA serve it at /).
- Project widget initials follow IDEA's AvatarUtils.initials ("idea" → "I").
- "Show directories with changed descendants" is off by default, as in IDEA.
- FileEntry gains `excluded`: only excluded folders get the excluded icon and
dimming; git-ignored ones keep the plain icon and the ignored colour.
- `.github` folders get IDEA's GitHub folder icon.
- Matched tag names are never bold and use their own background
(MATCHED_TAG_NAME); matched braces are bold in dark schemes only.
- Revert Greyscale antialiasing to `antialiased` for UI and editor; `auto`
rendered text heavier than PyCharm.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SaPPsVPuk6ZTNsoUCNCbMv
- ide-web: built-in static server on 127.0.0.1 that serves project files,
plus detection and launching of installed browsers.
- Open In › Browser in the editor, project view and tab menus; browser bar
and built-in preview beside HTML editors; ⌃⇧R opens the default browser.
- Emmet: Tab expansion in markup editors and Update Tag with Emmet.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SaPPsVPuk6ZTNsoUCNCbMv
Greyscale antialiasing mapped to `-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased`,
which drops macOS stem darkening, so editor and UI text rendered thinner
and syntax colours looked lighter than PyCharm's. Use `auto` instead.
Align lezer tag mappings with PyCharm's Light scheme:
- HTML/XML: `<!doctype>` is plain text (documentMeta is a sub-tag of meta).
- CSS/SCSS/Sass: property names use the attribute colour; values and units
the attribute-value colour; class, id, pseudo, colour and url() the tag colour.
- YAML: keys are keywords.
- Markdown: quotes are strings with keyword markers, link destinations
italic function colour, titles strings, horizontal rules keywords.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SaPPsVPuk6ZTNsoUCNCbMv
- All tab interleaves classes, files, symbols, actions and text by match
degree, keeping each source's own order; Enter waits for every source
except a text search the top row already beats.
- Preview pane under the list (remembered toggle), reusing CodePreview.
- "/" lists scope commands; "/files q" switches scope and searches q.
- Per-tab search history: magnifier dropdown and ⌥↑ / ⌥↓.
- Text hits: syntax colouring, IDEA's boxed-T icon, dimmed repeated file
names, collapsed indentation.
- Flat scope chooser, IDEA header icons, wider popup with a stable list
height; the list shrinks so the footer stays visible.
Right-click on the gutter now shows Annotate with Git Blame, Add/Remove
Bookmark, Soft-Wrap, Configure Soft Wraps, an Appearance submenu and
Configure Gutter Icons, contributed through a new "editorGutter" menu
group. A breakpoint line still opens the breakpoint popover.
Elixir files opened as plain text: highlighting only came from
@codemirror/language-data, which has no Elixir mode. Grammars now carry
their own highlights.scm; `doc_highlights` folds its captures into a small
kind vocabulary (inner nodes and later patterns win, interpolation clears
the string colour), memoised per document version on the incremental
tree. The editor maps kinds onto Lezer tags, so colours follow the active
scheme, and requests them only when no CodeMirror mode exists.
Enabled for Elixir; other grammar-only languages need their query wired.

Message dialogs: `Dialog` gets an `icon` (question / info / warning / error)
that renders IDEA's alert layout: no title bar, a 32px icon, bold title,
text, checkbox under it. Every confirmation helper (prompt, VCS, services,
project tree, keymap, LSP choices, run, database, Replace All) uses it. Open
Project matches IDEA: "This Window" is the default and has focus. The Code
Analysis and TODO commit checks default to Review.
Project widget: the title bar project button opens a popup like IDEA's
ProjectWidget, with Open… / Clone Repository…, the projects open in other
windows (new `window_open_projects` command) and recent projects, filtered by
typing.
Chinese UI: UI text stays written in English and is translated through a
source-text catalog (`locales/text/zh.json`, about 2300 strings). The UI
primitives (buttons, checkboxes, selects, tabs, dialogs, menus, tooltips,
toasts, settings labels and hints) translate the strings they are given.
Action titles and categories are localised in the registry, and static JSX
text uses `<T>`, so text follows a locale switch without a reload. The
Settings window now syncs the locale too. Settings search matches both
languages.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01B65qLEKnkeYTGdbwhLpjCu
Name patterns the IDE treats as nonexistent (.DS_Store, __pycache__, *.pyc, VCS dirs, ...) were hard-coded in five places, and Git changes ignored none of them, so .DS_Store showed up as unversioned. files.ignoredNames (IDEA's default list) now drives the project view, navigation bar, index, watcher, Find in Files, inspections and the Git status.
Opening another project in the same window left the previous project's state in
module-level stores: Amend and the commit message carried over, debug sessions kept
running, and Git Log, usages, hierarchy, inspection, HTTP client, recent locations,
navigation history and notifications still showed the old project.
Reset each of them on a project root change, stop the old debug sessions, ask about
unsaved changes before leaving a project, close the settings window (it would apply
to the new project) and end the indexing task when a scan is cancelled.
