# JetBrains Rider Integration – Godot addon
|
||
|
||
This addon currently provides two features:
|
||
1. Finds all Rider installations in the system and provides a selector on the `Text Editor` -> `External` tab in the settings to select one.
|
||
2. Provides the "Use Rider" toggle in the Godot toolbar and, when enabled, applies a set of editor settings recommended for working with JetBrains Rider. The goal is to make it trivial to switch between Rider‑optimized settings and stock Godot settings with a single click.
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
Requirements:
|
||
- Godot 4.2.2+
|
||
|
||
Install:
|
||
1. Inside the Godot editor, it can be installed from the AssetLib view or [downloaded](https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/4576)
|
||
2. [Optional] Change the initial value of `active` in the plugin.cfg
|
||
3. [Optional] Change the initial values in the presets.json file.
|
||
4. Enable "JetBrains Rider External Editor" plugin in the Project → Project Settings… → Plugins tab.
|
||
|
||
Use:
|
||
- A toolbar toggle named "Use Rider" will appear. Click it to turn the preset On/Off.

|
||
|
||
## What the toggle changes
|
||
|
||
The preset values live in `presets.json`.
|
||
|
||
When ON:
|
||
- Write the values from the "on" preset into the Editor Settings.
|
||
|
||
When OFF:
|
||
- Write the values from the "off" preset into the Editor Settings.
|
||
|
||
Note: The plugin does not currently auto‑set Rider’s executable path or flags. See Plans below.
|
||
|
||
## Setting Rider to be the external editor
|
||
|
||
The plugin automatically detects installed Rider versions on your system and provides a convenient dropdown menu to
|
||
select which installation to use as your external editor.
|
||
|
||
- The plugin scans common installation locations for Rider on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
|
||
- Detected installations appear in the "Select Rider" dropdown in the toolbar.
|
||
- When you select a Rider installation, the plugin automatically updates the `dotnet/editor/external_editor_path` editor
|
||
setting.
