I am using QtCreator currently. I tried Atom and Sublime Text. But QtCreator
is more convenient to me.

In short you need to do the following things:
1 - setup code style, use tabs instead of spaces, you can setup
autoindentation
2 - create QtCreator project for PostgreSQL and your extensions by the
following way:
- select File > New File or Project > Import Project > Import Existing
Project, and choose PostgreSQL or extension folder
- in next step choose all files
- QtCreator will create 3 files: *.config, *.files, *.includes
- if you created project for an extension you need to define path to
PostgreSQL include headers. Open *.includes file and write the path there.

With QtCreator you can quickly search necessary files or methods.

I didn't setup other options, because I make PostgreSQL and extensions from
command line. I debug them using dbg, but you can do it also from QtCreator.
