# kdesrc-build for Sublime Text [](https://github.com/ratijas/kdesrc-build-sublime/actions/workflows/syntax.yml)  ## About [KDE/Plasma](https://kde.org/) development team relies on [kdesrc-build](https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build) tool to manage their development setup: fetch and update source code, set up environment variables, resolve dependencies, compile and install projects. This package brings support for kdesrc-build into [Sublime Text](https://www.sublimetext.com/) editor: - intelligent **syntax highlighting** with snippets and plugins makes it easy to edit and navigate between kdesrc-buildrc configuration files. - Context-aware **auto-completion** suggests option names, and their values, be it boolean flags, predefined set of strings, dynamic list of choices or file system paths. - LSP-style **documentation**[^1] for each option: just hover the option name, or click "More" in the completions popup.  - Syntax for output panel of **build commands** / build results: while this package does not[^2] provide any \*.sublime-build build system definitions, you may easily add your own (with exact kdesrc-build invocation command that fits your needs), and get nice colorful output like in real terminal: ```json { "cmd": ["kdesrc-build", "--no-include-dependencies", "--no-src", "kirigami"], "syntax": "scope:source.build_output.kdesrc-build", } ```  - Support for KDebugSettings data files generated by `ecm_qt_install_logging_categories` which define logging categories and keep track of their renamings.
