" summary

Overview of practical IntelliJ + Scala Plugin plumbing: shows scratch files for throwaway worksheets, debugger tricks (conditional breakpoints, watches, evaluate expression, library-frame evaluation, thread stack inspection and reset frame), renderers and table view, multi-caret edits and the split-with-chooser registry flag, and X‑ray inline hints. Describes compiler-based highlighting vs built‑in model, a “use types reported by Scala compiler” option that fixes macro/transparent inline issues, nightly builds with Scala 3 fixes, and contribution paths (GitHub, UTRA, up‑for‑grabs tickets).
