Rainbow Brackets integrates with JetBrains Code With Me by providing bracket and parenthesis colorization for all participants in a collaborative session. The plugin only needs to be installed on the host IDE; clients connecting via Code With Me will automatically see bracket highlighting without installing the plugin themselves. No additional configuration or settings are required for compatibility—simply ensure Rainbow Brackets is enabled on the host before starting a session. This streamlined setup minimizes the risk of configuration errors or version mismatches across distributed teams source.
Known Issues and Limitations
- Do not install Rainbow Brackets on the Code With Me client or JetBrains Client / Gateway; the plugin is designed to run only on the host. Installing it on the client can result in errors or missing features due to unavailable dependencies in the client environment source.
- In remote development environments, including Code With Me, paid plugin features may not be recognized or available due to JetBrains platform limitations. Only free features are supported until platform updates resolve this issue source.
- Some users have reported that bracket coloring may not appear in certain remote or collaborative scenarios if the plugin is not correctly installed on the host, or if the session uses unsupported configurations. Always verify installation on the host and avoid installing on the client source.
- There are no special collaborative features or settings unique to Code With Me; the plugin’s visual enhancements are automatically shared with all session participants when installed on the host.
