Helyx, the IDE detective

I’ve been working on the IDE detection system. This took me a long time because I was testing many different ways of how to detect it and then sort them from most probable to least. At the end I have selected the one that uses points based on what the Project includes in its path… so files, extensions and directories.

I was experimenting with the Language system that I will make in the future. I just want to be sure what I am doing so later, I won’t be in panic what now and what was my original plan.

I have also refactored the code to some point but it is still not great after all of these things I have done above … so still need to do this.

I redesigned the menus and made it more universal and made the menu easier to navigate in.

I think my progress is going kinda good so far and it looks promising for me.

I also added some basic Git function like “git status” but I am about to add more.


I’d appreciate if you would write into comments some functions that I should add to Helyx.


Not sure if I already mentioned this but I am also planning to add a feature so you can create your own shortcuts for your projects like… some testing shortcut.

For instance, you have some project you want to test and you need to build it, then tweak some settings and at the end you actually test.
With this, you can do all of this just by one click…
Well, that’s at least my imagination and I am not sure if it will get to such point where you can do such tasks but we’ll see

Wish me luck!
