additionalTextAttributes marked with @ApiStatus.Internal, how to provide additional colors to color schemes?
Answered
I am customizing the colors for the keywords of a custom language, but when I try to use additionalTextAttributes to add a new TextAttributesKey according to the documentation, I find that it is marked with @ApiStatus.Internal.
How should I add a new TextAttributesKey and provide additional colors to color schemes?

Hi,
Could you please clarify what the problem is?
Only the extension point bean is internal, which shouldn't affect its usage.
Hi,
In my plugin.xml file, the tag for the additionalTextAttributes label shows a tilde prompt, indicating that this is an Internal API, although it does not affect the functionality implementation. I know that Internal APIs should not be used, but the official documentation guides me to use this label, and I cannot find a suitable alternative to achieve the same functionality.
What I really want to know is whether this label is available. If it is not available, what should be used as a substitute? If it is available, is the tilde prompt misleading and does it need correction?
To add additional colors to color schemes, you can extend the existing color scheme by implementing the
EditorColorsSchemeinterface or using a customTextAttributesKey. Define your custom colors in the plugin's XML and register them inplugin.xml. Since@ApiStatus.Internalelements aren't intended for public use, avoid relying on them for production code. Instead, use the officially supported APIs for customization.Hi,
I can't reproduce this.
Could you please share your sources to reproduce it and provide information about the IDE you use for developing the plugin?
