Nginx Companion
FreeNginx Config
Syntax highlighting and directive completion for nginx config files.
The gap it fixes
The leading nginx plugin's paid tier (254K+ downloads) has recent complaints of locking up the IDE "even on non-nginx related edits." Its free tier repeatedly prompts for analytics/tracking consent on every startup, no matter how many times a user declines — and the historical free alternative has been abandoned since 2019.
