In the installation instructions at:

In these installation instructions:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#plugins-directory

I am attempting to run this LSL plugin in PyCharm. In PyCharm's "Plugins" tab there is an option to install the "Linden Script (LSL)" plugin. No mention of this way to install this plugin is in the instructions. This raised the question whether it is sufficient to use the Plugins tab to install "Linden Script (LSL)" only, whether the LSL.xml file should also be installed, or whether the LSL.xml file installation is mutually exclusive with installation using the Plugins tab.

Because the instructions do not state that a project must be created before it is possible to navigate to "File > Settings > Editor > Files types" there was confusion as to how to navigate to there. It appeared only after creating a Python project. There I found "*.lsl" already present due to, I believe, the use of the Plugins tab to install the "Linden Script (LSL) language plugin".

I tested this LSL plugin without installing LSL.xml and it does seem to work.

The correct way to install the plugin is using plugins repository in IDE settings. But ok, I will write better documentation later.
