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. A plugin is 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. - 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, adriandeleon/editora-plugins, is open, so you can publish your own with a pull request.
