CodePreview for Unity

   

   

A powerful and customizable preview for the Unity inspector. Tired of Unity's tiny, unhelpful default inspector for scripts? CodePreview transforms it into a genuine productivity tool. Quickly understand, navigate, and manage your text-based assets without ever leaving the editor. ✨ Key Functionality Theme-Aware Syntax Highlighting: Read C#, JSON, XML and more with beautiful highlighting that automatically adapts to Unity's Light and Dark themes. Pleasant Markdown Reading: Instead of a plain text file, your .md files are presented with syntax coloring for headers, lists, and code blocks, making them far easier to read. Instant Navigation: Instantly search through any file with highlighted results and jump directly to any line number. File Statistics: Get instant insights at a glance: line and word counts, file size, and the last modification date. Quick Actions Toolbar: Edit in your IDE, copy the file path, or copy the entire content to your clipboard with a single click. 🎯 Supported Formats C# (.cs) JSON (.json) XML (.xml) YAML (.yaml) Markdown (.md) 🚀 Get Started »
