Regex Named Group Companion
FreeRegex Tooling
Shows the name of every named group ((?<year>\d{4})) inline, right on the line of any Java or Kotlin regex literal that has one: no need to open a separate tool window just to remember what a pattern's groups are called. A companion tool window (reusing Regex Preview Companion's own matching engine) lets you test a pattern against real sample text and see every named gro
The gap it fixes
An original idea, not a port of an existing competitor — validated against this catalog's own idea-validation discipline before being built: (1) confirmed no plugin in this catalog or in JetBrains Marketplace does exactly this (the closest, "Regex Tool" at 17,961 downloads, is a generic tester with no inline-in-source-code angle at all); (2) confirmed buildable in the ~10-day budget with techniques this catalog already has proven (PSI walking for Java/Kotlin, an EditorCustomElementRenderer inlay, a tool window) — no new technique invented for this plugin, just two existing ones combined.
