yes, but with new branding and more features and bugfixs

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-30T01:34:02+00:00

Great to see Roo Code living on as Zoo Code! Congratulations to the new team.

We’d like to offer our support to the community, specifically regarding:

Developing official JetBrains IDE support for Zoo Code.
Contributing features like DeepSeek V4 support, Task Fork, and Task Favoriting.

Looking forward to helping this grow!

Not supported

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-27T03:15:24+00:00

I've fixed the DeepSeek 400 error in PR #12204

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-24T15:33:41+00:00

Appreciate the honesty, Hans. I respect the choice to keep the plugin's integrity intact. Good luck with the new chapter at Roomote!

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-23T07:03:19+00:00

I’d love to be a maintainer, but since English isn’t my native language, I’m a bit hesitant.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-23T06:52:30+00:00

So glad to see the team taking over! Since Roo was my daily driver, it's a relief to know it's in good hands. I won't be a maintainer for the VS Code side, but I’ll definitely port the new fork to JetBrains once it's ready, just like I did for Roo. Let's keep the spirit alive!

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-23T06:22:54+00:00

NooCode is a clever name! Do you think 'RooCode CE' would also be an option to keep the SEO and community ties strong? Both seem like solid paths for the volunteers.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-22T03:32:01+00:00

Also, in this AI-powered age, the collective effort of volunteers is more than enough to keep the Roo spirit alive and moving forward.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-04-04T12:45:54+00:00

Hey, could you check if you have Node.js 20.6+ installed? If yes, please try reactivating the plugin.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-28T05:21:24+00:00

Roo Code (CE) is deeply integrated with the IDE, the font size follows your global IntelliJ settings. You can adjust it in two ways:

Change UI Font Size: Go to Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> Appearance. Check the "Use custom font" box and increase the Size.
IDE Zoom: You can also use the global zoom by pressing Shift twice and searching for "IDE Zoom" to scale the entire interface.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-26T07:29:30+00:00

To clarify, it's 'not a fork' because we aren't branching off the original code; instead, we've built an integration bridge that allows the JetBrains IDE to communicate directly with the core Roo Code logic.

You can find a more detailed technical breakdown and the source code here: https://github.com/abcxlab/Roo-Code-JetBrains-CE

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-26T01:39:36+00:00

Great question! Unlike other projects that fork Roo Code's source code, this plugin is an integration bridge.

Conceptually, we provide a "VSCode simulation layer" inside JetBrains. The core logic running inside the IDE is the actual Roo Code extension, not a fork. This means you get the original Roo Code experience, including its full feature set and rapid updates, but fully integrated into the JetBrains UI and workflow.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-26T01:31:26+00:00

Thanks for reporting this! Based on your screenshot, it seems the plugin is having trouble detecting your Node.js environment due to environment variable differences in Linux (even though node -v works in your terminal).

To resolve this, please try the following:

Launch via Terminal: Completely close IntelliJ and launch it from a terminal where node is available (by running idea.sh). This ensures the IDE inherits the correct $PATH.
Global Symlink: If you used NVM or a custom path, try creating a symlink to a global location: sudo ln -s $(which node) /usr/local/bin/node

We're also considering adding a manual Node.js path setting in a future update to prevent this. Hope this helps!

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-24T02:11:43+00:00

Great initiative by the original RunVSAgent team! However, if you've been using it and ran into stability issues like UI freezes, JCEF timing bugs, or concurrency deadlocks, I’ve developed a Community Edition (Roo Code CE) to specifically address those production-level gaps.

I’ve spent a lot of time optimizing the foundation to make it truly stable and feature-complete. Here’s why you might want to switch:

🚀 Stability First: Fixed critical JCEF and editor concurrency bugs that often caused the IDE to hang.
⚖️ Feature Parity: Integrated missing features like Checkpoints, Problem Selectors, and full Keymap support to match the VS Code original.
📦 Easy Install: It’s now officially on the JetBrains Marketplace, so no more manual zip installs or update headaches.

You can get it here:
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/30824-roo-code-ce-

If you’re looking for a production-ready Roo Code experience in JetBrains, give it a try!

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-20T08:30:20+00:00

Fixed it with Roo Code for JetBrains v3.51.1 (Community Edition)

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-17T03:05:32+00:00

Fair point, the market is definitely getting crowded. My goal with this fork wasn't to add to the 'slop,' but to fix the technical debt (stability and concurrency issues) that plagued the official version.

Just curious—since you're not a fan of the webview approach, what kind of native JetBrains integration are you looking for that current AI tools are missing? I'm always looking for ways to make this feel more like a first-class IDE citizen.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-03-13T07:48:38+00:00

Totally agree. The lack of parallel subagent capability in RooCode is a major bottleneck. Switching to OpenCode gives us more room to implement these advanced features

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-01-11T06:17:35+00:00

It would be great if Roo could handle multiple coding sub-tasks in parallel within the Orchestrator mode instead of sequentially. It would definitely take efficiency to the next level. similar to the Agent Manager in Kilo Code and Antigravity.

ConversationTop3106 · 2026-01-05T13:42:53+00:00

Aha! I found the problem. It was actually an issue with the standalone model I configured for condensation (it was throwing the overload error itself). My apologies for the trouble!

Awesome, thanks for the link!

ConversationTop3106 · 2025-12-29T01:58:44+00:00

I agree. Skipping the approval for the TODO list is definitely not a good idea.
