What's New
1.8.0 August 22nd, 2025
🚀 New Features
Indent Guides: Vertical guide lines in Blender’s Text Editor to indicate indentation levels.
Minimap: Adds a compact overview of your entire script in the Text Editor sidebar, similar to the minimap in VS Code.
Whitespace Characters: Display invisible spaces and tabs in Blender’s Text Editor, inspired by the feature in VS Code.
Script Backup: Quickly save backups of your current script in Blender’s Text Editor. View and open previous backups from a dedicated Backups menu.
🎛️ UI & UX Improvements
Find & Replace: Press Enter to quickly find the next occurrence. (In Preferences: disable real-time highlighting and enable "find on enter" to make this work.)
Open Recent: Added an option to view opened texts as tabs instead of a dropdown menu.
Code Map:
- When searching, all classes/functions that contain nested functions will automatically expand.
- Restores to the previous collapsed/expanded state when the search is cleared.
Go to Definition Improved accuracy and reliability using the Jedi module.
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that caused the Text Editor header to appear blank when Textify was disabled.
I made a login only to be able to rate this. I really like the CodeMap feature. I make long scripts and it helps me a ton. I did not like that the mod registered itself to same CTRL+S like the save project itself, and I see no reason to save to .py if the project will save the texts too for me. It is optional, that is good. I have no use of counting the words.
Feature request
Thanks for the addon, I love it. (I don't know the version number, and lazy to check, but I can not submit the form without it, and it did not select the latest by default. So... I guess I downloaded the latest yesterday.)
