Debian Buster user,
I'm seeking some OpenSCAD code report/analysis tool.
I mean some tools that, scanning a .SCAD project, extracts
info about functions/modules declaration and usage,
presenting that in some browsable form.

I now use the internal "scintilla" editor, which has a good
feature (collapsible-expandible items) but no other helping
feature, like autocompletion, some list of functions/modules
to rapidly jump to their code, and as the projects grow in
size, browsing inside is becoming a nightmare

tnx for every advice

Sorry for multiposting, But I am expecting very few OpenSCAD
users around here, so I shouldn't be generating a lot of
traffic in the worst case.

I try to set up the follow-up to alt.comp.os.linux, hoping
it works, so every possible intrested, would converge here/there

This not multiposting, multiposting is when you post individual posts on
multiple groups with the same content. Crossposting is when you post the
same message as one post to multiple groups at the same time.

Follow-up is evil, as you prevent people to take part of the
conversation. People will not start subscribe a group just for you favor
it over some other one.

And, ironically, he left out the newsgroup for the distribution he's
actually using, i.e. alt.os.linux.debian. ;)

I used Visual Studio Code time ago, finding it a monster in
weight (also frequency and burden of updates was really
heavy). I have the .deb somewhere.

I'll have a look at notepadqq, tnx for advice !

Oh, God ... It's quite a while I don't do this, and despite
willing to avoid the worst, I made all possible mistakes :\
I apologize ...

I managed to find it in the flatpak version (I don't use
snaps, and AppImage misteriously does not run).

It is really amazingly rich of supported syntax
highlightings but, unfortunately, it does not support
OpenSCAD natively, and I could not find any extension to load

I have to try brackets, if it is free/open
