This is an auto-generated question from the MPS Slack community: MPS has a startup option that will make MPS show a ‘developers’ menu, where you can e.g. see all action ID’s and much other internal information. I have used this before, but have forgotten how this option is called. I though it was something like `-Dinternal=true`, or `-Dmps.internal=true` but these doesn’t work. Does anyone know this option and how it is called?

Tnx for the pointer. I tried what is described (`idea.is.internal=true`), but that does not work, also tried `mps.is.internal=true,` did not work either. The first one (`idea.is.internal=true`) does work in IntelliJ, so presumably there is a different property name for MPS.

`-Dmps.internal=true` is correct one. Check that you palced it intoright _mps.vmoptions_ file: use _Main menu -> Help -> Edit Custom VM Options..._

Right! I did add this to `mps.vmoptions` file in the installed MPS app but that did not work. But there is an _identical_ `mps.vmoptions` file in my personal Library folder, which is the one that is opened through the Help menu. Confusing! But … it works now, thanks Slack user:U6L4B9THU> and Slack user:U6KG9L46L>.
