The plugin installs fine, no errors or warnings.

However there is no trace of new functionality afterwards. Double clicking a .proto file doesn't give any new editors to select from. No menu items have changed - in short, the plugin is a completely invisibile no-op on Oxygen M3.

Did the code not get syntax highlighting? (e.g. purple keywords with black variable names) This is subtle and can be easy to miss because you are used to it in other code .

If you Ctrl-click on a protobuf 'Type` it should jump to the definition of that protobuf.

Further, if you open the Outline view, you should see an outline of all the protobuf types that have been defined in that proto file.

I am running it on Oxygen and it seems to be fine.

I tried both from the marketplace and from the direct install instructions from the github site. That URL gives a 404 error.
