Plugins have landed
Editora now has a plugin system. Plugins can register commands and keybindings, add tool windows, contribute editor-menu items and status-bar segments, and ship snippets and templates, written in Java or declared in a simple manifest.
There’s a built-in registry with 19 plugins to start: text transforms, encoders and hashers, a regex tester, a scratchpad, a calculator, a color picker, a task runner, “Open on GitHub,” and more. Browse them on the new Plugins page.
Getting started
- Enable plugins in Settings → Plugins (off by default).
- Browse plugins… installs from the registry; Install from file… takes a
local
.zip. - Want to build one? Start from the Example Plugin and read the plugins documentation.
Plugins run with full access and aren’t sandboxed, only install ones you trust.
The registry is open, adriandeleon/editora-plugins, so you can publish your own with a pull request.
