Best Editor for KV files

[Derek Duncan]

Hello,

I am currently using Sublime 2 for my text editor for writing my kv files. I am looking for a way to make it so that the text I am writing will be properly color coded and indented as it does for a .py file. Is this possible to load a language file so that it will do this? Thank you

Hi

I'm not sure about Sublime 2 (A cool editor), but Xuton did a kv file plugin for PyCharm. Gives us cool colours and auto-completion using the kv lang in PyCharm. If that helps, post so we can share it ;-)

Hi

Just a note to anyone using kv editing in PyCharm, I have updated this package to support some 1.9 widgets and well as made some corrections and improvements to existing kv parsing. You may want to get this latest version.

By the way, I do try and keep this file updated. Just added the RecycleView and associated classes. If anyone notices any kv lang omissions, please let me know...:-)
