Developing a graphical plugin for Pluma

Development Discussion

Does anyone know if it’s possible to create a graphical plugin for Pluma. Essentially I’d like to create something akin to a LibreOffice macro whereby I use a form to enter data.

Any ideas?

Hi CGB,

there are plugins for Gedit, maybe the same exists for Pluma?:

@gravy45, good point I didn’t think of that. I’ll look at the code and see how they did it

Edit. Just looked at the code for the spelling plugin and it just calls standard GTK widgets. I should be able to do that with PyGTK easily enough

Of course you can see it! I’ll do some kind of proof-of-concept first before I build the plugin I’ve been thinking about and will share what I’ve done.
