any VHDL-Geany? any beautifier?

[DiTBho]

is there any software(1) that works like Geany works for C files?

That understands where an entity, record, constant, type, subtype, ...  is defined and lists it somewhere?

I could implement a VHDL parser to add a similar functionality to my text editor (ncurses), but...
... well... I find myself implementing too much stuff.

Another wish: is there a VHDL beautifier?

my two wishes for the genie of the lamp


(1) possibly open source, written in C or C++, for GNU/Linux
on { MIPS32, MIPS4, POWER10, HPPA2, .. }: I cannot compile { Java, Rust, Golang ... } and I have a few technical difficulties with python

At the moment I am randomly using Scriptum by Hdlworks.
It's a binary application that runs on Windows/x86 and GNU/Linux-x86, see here.

It's nice, freeware, but well ... umm, too limited

Note that I haven't used it, but, have you tested VHDL for Professionals inside Visual Studio Code?

In addition there is also Veditor, a Verilog / VHDL plugin for Eclipse which works reasonably well.

vim/gvim supports VHDL syntax highlighting and hdl_checker that implements the language server protocol standard
