(01) What it does
Oskuvi KV Language makes the editor read the .kv files of Kivy applications: the rules, widgets, properties and canvas instructions of the kv language, with the Python in their values.
Rules and dynamic classes, widgets, properties, ids, canvas instructions and directives are coloured, brackets are matched, blocks fold and the comment key works. On top of that, the editor completes widget classes, properties and ids, goes from a rule to its Python class and from an id to where it is given, and flags what Kivy's own parser would refuse.
The plugin only reads your files. It contacts no address and sends nothing anywhere.
(02)Who it's for
Made for people like these.
- Python developers building Kivy apps in PyCharm or another JetBrains IDE.
- Teams that keep their Kivy layouts in .kv files.
