code suggestions;
member completion after a dot;
Hover information about types and program elements;
Signature Help for procedures, functions, and methods;
display of compilation errors;
program compilation and execution;
selection of the target platform: .NET Framework 4.7.2 or .NET 10.

IntelliSense, including code suggestions, type information, Signature Help, and error reporting, works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Linux and macOS: program compilation and execution are available for the .NET 10 target. The .NET Framework 4.7.2 target is supported only on Windows. On macOS, PascalABC.NET currently works only through Visual Studio Code, without debugger support.
