Custom Settings Groups

Edit pageLast modified: 28 April 2023

As described in Extension Points for Settings, custom Settings can be declared as children of existing parent groups such as Tools. These parent groups are the existing categories of Settings in the IntelliJ Platform-based IDE.

However, suppose the custom Settings are rich enough to require multiple levels? For example, a custom Setting implementation has multiple sub-Settings implementations. Extension Point declarations can create this kind of multilayer Settings hierarchy.
