* fix(vcs): open Commit dialog diffs in a front window (#1863) In the modal Commit dialog, activating a changed file opened its diff in an editor tab behind the dialog, invisible until the dialog closed. Open it in a front Dialog stacked above instead (IntelliJ's diff window): Esc, the close button or the close-tab chord returns to the Commit dialog with its message, selection and options intact. The dialog reuses DiffEditor with an embedded DiffData, so the full viewer toolbar (prev/next difference, split/unified, ignore whitespace, highlighting) is there. Chain navigation (F7 / Shift+F7 past an edge, diff.nextFile / prevFile) now goes through a new onNeighbour hook instead of openDiff: an embedded host swaps its own content rather than opening a hidden tab. Only one diff window is kept, as in IDEA. * fix(vcs): open the Commit dialog menu's Show Diff in a front window The dialog-mode context menu still used the global vcs.showDiff action, which opens an editor tab behind the modal Commit dialog. Route it through the same front diff dialog as double-click.
The IDE you know, rebuilt in Rust.

OpenIDEA brings the IntelliJ IDEA way of working — its keymap, its tool windows, its search-everything habits — to a native app with a Rust core.
Editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database and HTTP clients,
for 60+ languages. Builds for macOS, Windows and Linux. On Windows, if you'd
rather skip the installer, each release also ships a portable zip — unpack it
and run openidea.exe.
Benchmark
Opening freqtrade (Python, ~770 files) with warm caches, median of 5 runs:
| OpenIDEA | IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Window with the project | 0.9 s | 3.1 s |
| Ready (CPU settled) | 1.1 s | 13.2 s |
| Memory (USS, all processes) | 169 MB | 2011 MB |
| CPU time until ready | 2.4 s | 47.9 s |
| Idle CPU | 4 % of a core | 7 % of a core |
| Quit | 0.3 s | 5.9 s |
A release build of OpenIDEA from main and IDEA with default settings and plugins, on
Windows 11, 32-core AMD, 62 GB RAM.
IDEA analyses Python more deeply, so "ready" doesn't mean the same work on
both sides. Both are measured from the outside, the same way: see
perf/compare to run it on your machine and projects.
Plugins
Plugins add actions, completion, quick fixes, tool windows, custom editors, themes, file icons and languages. They run as sandboxed WebAssembly components; themes, icon themes and languages need no code at all.
Install them from Settings › Plugins, or start your own with
openidea-plugin new — see Writing OpenIDEA plugins and
the official plugins. The plugin API is still a preview.
