Rider integration with Godot/GDScript Documentation
Hi,
Recently, I gave Rider (Windows) a try coming from VSCode for developing Godot games in GDScript. In VSCode I'm using the godot-tools extension in order to CTRL click on gdscript symbols to jump to definitions / documentation and I sorely miss this in Rider. I'd love to drop all other IDE support in favor of Rider, but I cannot right now because I'm unable to view even basic documentation for Godot things like Vector2, clamp/clampf etc (I'm talking about purely documentation), so it slows down my workflow to search for these documentations.
Would there be a chance Rider implements native gdscript documentation so that I can replicate the behavior of looking at documentation for various functions / classes / symbols? Thank you.

I'm not even getting Quick Documentation on hover to work for some reason, even when it's enabled in my settings. Shortcut to it doesn't work either.

Quick access to documentation is also the deal breaker for me, so having to use VSCode until this is fixed.
Hello, it is supposed to work. Both Navigation via Ctrl+Click and quick documentation on hover (for e.g. on Vector2) works fine for me in 2025.3.0.1.
Please ensure to follow these steps: Getting Started and Optimize Godot Editor for Rider.
If the issue remains in Rider 2025.3.0.1, please submit a bug. Describe the issue, attach logs (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data) and a full-screen recording that demonstrates the issue.
Have a nice day!
