Plugins

xplr is already extensible enough even without plugin support. But it would be great if there is a way to share xplr hacks with each other without a lot of copy-pasting.

But as of now, I'm still figuring out how to implement plugin support.

I like nnn's approach of using pipes, but I think we can do better than cloning a repo of difficult-to-port scripts (don't "How?" me yet).

Some plugin ideas to explore:

  • Cross platform, painless support for the hacks
  • port all nnn plugins
  • Undo - Redo actions
  • preview window
  • tabs / synced sessions
  • disk analyzer mode (hint)
  • progress bars (hint)
  • git integration
  • themes
  • nice input prompts (hint)
  • background jobs (hint)
  • dashboards (hint)
  • fselect integration

Do you have any other ideas? I'd like to hear about it.
