I'm using aider with webstorm. What specific integration or support are you keen to see?

[RenFraser]

@tdobson if you had a free moment, would you mind sharing how you do this?

The aider docs mention that a user has had some success with VS Code and I'd also be curious to see what the experience is like in JetBrains IDEs

[tdobson]

Sure. Without meaning to sound blunt or unhelpful you:

0. open a project in webstorm
1. open a terminal in webstorm
2. type aider
3. yay. It works!

I'm sure there could be neater integration and papercut solving, but I haven't found (m)any, and so I'd be keen to hear other thoughts on what doesn't work as it could

[RenFraser]

Thanks. Makes sense!

The only things I need is sync open tabs with aider chat

[tdobson]

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the reply,

Just to check what you're thinking, you're suggesting an integration which would add/drop files from aider chat based on which files are currently open in tabs?

as a webstorm user, it would be nice to be able to use the webstorm editor as an --editor when entering a request to aider.
