Syntax highlighting and auto-completion for Kivy/KivyMD .kv
files in PyCharm/Intellij IDEA
This settings file is based on the one that is located at the
"Setting Up Kivy with various popular IDE's" page of Kivy@GitHub.
It's updated and has also support for the KivyMD modules and properties.
There are 4 categories of keywords:
- Modules (e.g.
FloatLayout
,Button
,Image
..) - Properties (e.g.
text
,source
,size_hint_x
..) - Actions (e.g.
on_release
,on_text
,on_parent
..) - Special (The
app
,cls
,root
,self
,False
,None
,True
keywords)
The colors of these categories can be changed in
Settings
>Editor
>Color Scheme
>Custom
.
You can Add/Remove keywords by going to the
Settings
>Editor
>File Types
and double click (edit) the Kv Language
entry.
Also, feel free to inform me about missing keywords so that I can update the settings file.

Semi-Language Injection to String Literals
Added in v0.3
PyCharm, IDEA (and all the JetBrains IDE's) support "Language Injection", a way to have
syntax highlighting inside the Python's string literals.
Unfortunately, only the supported languages are supported (!)
There is a workaround (better than nothing, but not by much), to have something like this:
You can read about it here.
To use it, just select all the kv
code in the string, press Ctrl+Alt+T
("Surround
With...") and select the KV. Surround for kv injection
entry.
