Goal
Make the experience of writing code in the VBE (the VBA/VB6 IDE) as enjoyable as possible, by turning VBA/VB6 development into a modern-day IDE experience with features that have, since the VBE's last update forever ago (citation needed), become standard tooling in pretty much every IDE out there.
Core Features
- Enhanced navigation dockable toolwindows such as the Code Explorer (an enhanced Project Explorer that drills down to module members) and TODO Explorer, global and context-sensitive search tools such as find all references, find all implementations, or find symbol make it much easier to find anything and navigate there.
- Unit testing makes it child's play to add test modules, implement test methods, and execute them.
- Code Inspections locate (and fix) issues in VBA/VB6 code.
- Code Metrics measure things like LoC count, cyclomatic complexity, nesting levels, etc.
- Refactorings for extracting methods, renaming identifiers, and reordering and removing parameters and updating all call sites in a single operation.
- Smart Indenter Rubberduck integrates a C# port of the popular Smart Indenter add-in.
