Source Code Viewer: Plugin

[melloware]

So I press F3 on a lot of files like Java, TypeScript, XML, JSON, YML etc and the regular internal viewer is fine and fast for most of it but it would be awesome to have a new Viewer plugin that was a source code viewer and used a library like this.

Colorer (C++ Library): https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library

PrismJs (Javascript): https://prismjs.com/

• This would presuppose it goes to the WebView2 viewer as marked up HTML?

In my AS I always define my custom editor which knows all about the source code,... and leave internal viewer for a backup in case something freezes and I can do a simple view on the file.
So I mostly use F4. :)

Also OS already has options to setup alternative viewers or even write a plugin.

We could of course work on additional code knowing internal viewer, but let us not push some heavy viewer that loads slowly to all users just because 5% of the users are coders.
I really like the lightness of the AS viewer, but having an option is always good.

Anyway just a side note.. internal viewer always crashes when viewing a csv file. :) .. so it will need at least some loving.

Yep I don't want to open a full blown editor I want F3 quick view to show the source with formatting. Helps when quickly looking through a lot of files for what I am looking for.

Also your CSV issue was fixed years ago: https://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?t=42577 attached is the plugin patch
