Lite XL plugins

Plugins for the Lite XL text editor, originally forked from the lite plugins repository.

If you can't find a plugin that suits your needs, check if someone has already created an issue about it, otherwise feel free to create one yourself.

How to install

To install a plugin:

  • If the plugin links to a repository, follow its README.

  • If the plugin is a single file or directory, drop it directly in:

    • Linux ~/.config/lite-xl/plugins/
    • MacOS ~/.config/lite-xl/plugins/
    • Windows C:\Users\(username)\.config\lite-xl\plugins\

Or, if you have a Lite XL plugin manager, such as lpm, you may install plugins by doing

  lpm install plugin_name

Note: if you make a pull request, do not edit this README.md file, as it's autogenerated; the manifest.json file should be updated to include any new plugins added, as specified in the Lite XL plugin manifest specification.

Please note, that in this official repository, any plugins that specify a remote must also pin the remote to a specific commit hash. Any plugin that is hosted not in a repository, but only with a url must provide a checksum that matches the existing plugin.

Any commits specified with a remote will automatically be checked for updates to the latest branch, and PRs will automaticaly be created for them on a recurring basis to keep things up to date. Stubs can specify an alternate branch to follow with extra.follow_branch.

Any non-conforming PRs will not be accepted. The table below will be updated automatically.

Any entries marked with an asterisk are hosted on external repositories.
