Plugins for the Lite XL editor

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.

lite-xl-plugins's Issues

Linewrapping and projectsearch conflict

When you enable linewrapping by default, it breaks projectsearch:

It causes projectsearch to not be able to scroll to the correct line when trying to open a result. Instead you end up at the very bottom. I think this is because the linewrapping plugin does not yet know the width of the DocView, so it inserts a lot of wraps, causing the scroll to overshoot by a lot.

Add Objeck lexer

Discussed in lite-xl/lite-xl#1351

^{Originally posted by 1997tn January 26, 2023}
This is the Objeck language: https://github.com/objeck/objeck-lang

There are syntax highlighting rules available for several editors but unfortunately none for Lite XL yet.

linecopypaste plugin missing

FAQ mentions linecopypaste plugin, it seems to be missing.

[Request] Color picker

There's already a color highlight so I think it would be nice to have to complement that functionality in such a lightweight editor.

[Request] Add Modula-2 and Modula-3 lexer

I asked on Lexilla ScintillaOrg/lexilla#125 but it will take very long for them to actually make the lexer. I know Lite XL supports custom lexers in Lua but I have no knowledge about Lua, please add the custom lexers for Modula-2 and Modula-3. Thank you.

[Request] add umka support

this is mainly for programming in tophat, but please add umka support edit: this is where the api support is.

selectionhighlight doesn't higlight same line matches

When theres matches on the line of the selection, it ignores them?

bracketmatch highlight both pairs

There should be options for how highlighting is done. Should give options about highlighting rather than underlining, and whether or not to highlight the original bracket.

Open recent file

Hello,

Not sure where to put this, it's maybe a feature request?

I'd want to have a way to open recent files.

Is there a plugin that can do this? Configuration options? Something else?

Also, is there a sort of catalog of all available configuration? Ideally something that wouldn't require trawling through all source code and plugins, could/does lite-xl have something like introspection (i.e. automatically generating a list based on all exported symbols)?

[Request] Minor QOL improvement to commenting features in lfautoinsert

The block comment feature feels a bit inflexible when it only triggers the ending block characters */ if you trigger the block with just /*, only making exceptions for whitespace.

It seems common among some programmers to add more characters/words to the first line of the comment block, so I was wondering if it would be reasonable to change the lua expression for comment blocks from ["/%*%s*\n"] to ["/%*.*\n"] , in order to make an exception for any characters following the start of the comment block.

Are there any issues this might cause that I'm not aware of? I've tested this change myself and it works like I expect (I often like to add an extra few asterisks at the top of the block to make it stand out, which with this change, works exactly as I expect).

Put all `language_xxxx.lua` files inside language folder

Readme has become very crowded and to organize it better my suggestion is that we move all raw language_xxxx.lua files to /plugins/language/

[Request] JDTLS and snippets

I would like to know if there are currently any intentions to provide java language server protocol (JDTLS) and snippets integration within the autocomplete engine.

Beginner confusion

I just got lite-xl about an hour ago, I'm intending on using it for ricing my desktop.

When starting out I was very confused as to why the example code for changing the font wasn't working.

style.font = renderer.font.load(DATADIR .. "/fonts/azukifontB.ttf", 14 * SCALE)
style.code_font = renderer.font.load(DATADIR .. "/fonts/azukifontB.ttf", 14 * SCALE) 

I had placed the font file I wanted to use in .config/lite-xl/fonts, expecting that it would load it if I just put in the path, but nothing was happening. After going on the discord I learned that I had to use USERDIR instead of DATADIR, which isnt very obvious for beginners. It would be useful if a small edit to the docs mentioning this was added, just to avoid future confusion.

The person who helped me recommended that I submit an issue.

EDIT: I posted this issue to the wrong github, I meant to post it to the mean lite-xl issues page, oops

[Request] Add SmallBASIC lexer

References:

https://github.com/Joe7M/smallbasic.atom.syntaxcoloring

https://github.com/Joe7M/smallbasic.geany.syntaxcoloring

https://github.com/Joe7M/smallbasic.vscode.syntaxcoloring

Add plugin to show trailing whitespace

It would be helpful to visualize trailing whitespace by highlighting it in red, maybe as an overlayed color or as an underline using lint+.

Proposal: move language plugins to their own directory

[Request] Settings: add duplicate keybindings warning

Right now you can create duplicate keybindings through the Settings GUI. This can lead to some problems, like when you remap line-wrapping:toggle to ctrl+w and now you can no longer close documents with Ctrl+W even though the hint still shows this:

I can think of a couple options:

1. Add a dialog to notify of a keybinding conflict, and if the user chooses to save the new binding then it should clear the old binding.
2. Don't show a dialog, but instead automatically clear the old binding when it is mapped to another command.

[Bug] Hiding minimap for small docs crashes the editor

Enabling the feature Hide for small Docs crashes the editor. Opening any file will crash it too.

Steps to reproduce

I cloned this repo and symlinked lite-xl-plugins/plugins to ~/.config/lite-xl/plugins so it is quite possible that a combination of features from other plugins might be contributing to the crashes.

1. Clone this repo
2. Symlink to ~/.config/lite-xl/plugins
3. Enable the feature in the editor

[Request] Auto indent after opening bracket

In the autoinsert plugin, it would be convenient to go from void func() {//caret here} to

void func() {
    //caret here
}

by hitting ENTER. Seems easy enough and I would love to do it myself but unfortunately I don't know any Lua nor this project environment.

[2.1] bunch of problems with plugins

so the plugins for 2.1 have quite a few problems, and it was decided in the discord chat to list all the problems here.

so here goes nothing:

• the spellcheck plugin breaks softwrap;
• the minimap plugins also breaks softwrap;
• lfautoinsert and smoothcaret cause an error that i'll paste a screenshot of, since the log is not giving an option to copy the log entry:
  

this is it for now, since it's late at night where i am right now; i would like it if other people test these plugins with the master-2.1 branch of lite-xl and report their findings here.

Spellcheck Plugin - How to configure in Linux?

How do I configure the spellcheck plugin in Linux?
I've tried a few things, the latest being downloading the word list here and creating a symlink to it as /usr/share/dict/words
No error messages from lite-xl on launch but not sure this is working.
How does one get the spellcheck going? And get the misspelled words highlighted? Needs a lint plugin as well?
(I also have hunspell installed but couldn't get this to work with xl-lite.)

Please included drawwhitespace from rxi/lite-plugins

Kindly add drawwhitespace from rxi/lite-plugins here.

Request to add Containerfile/Dockerfile Syntax Highlighting plugin.

I recently wrote a Syntax Highlighting plugin for Lite-XL that highlights some components of Containerfiles and Dockerfiles matching a few different extensions and names.

• https://github.com/FilBot3/lite-xl-language-containerfile

add rxi/lite link to readme

There is no obvious linkage to original rxi/lite. Github used to add one because of forking.

I feel it would be fair to include homage to rxi in lite-xl-plugins readme.
What do you think?

Wrap text

Is there any way to wrap text automatically on a long line? Otherwise, I have to put an Enter, which makes the code really inconsistent.

bracketmatch doesn't ignore comments

settings disables the drawwhitespace plugin

When using the seetings plugin the internal drawwhitespace plugin seems to no longer have any effect.

Steps to reproduce

• install the widget and the settings plugin
• use the init.lua from below
• the whitespace is not colored

I have reproduced this on the latest master branch of lite-xl and version 2.1

local config = require "core.config"
local style = require "core.style"
config.plugins.drawwhitespace = {
  leading_color = style.background3,
  middle_color = style.modified,
  trailing_color = style.warn,
  show_middle_min = 2,
  substitutions = {
    {
      char = " ",
      sub =  "·",
      show_trailing = false,
    },
    {
      char = "\t",
      sub = "»",
    },
    {
      char = " ",
      sub = "█",
      show_leading = false,
      show_middle = false,
      show_trailing = true,
      trailing_color = style.error,
    },
  },

[Request] Terminal inside text editor

Hi, I would like to make a feature request. Could you add terminal inside text editor by pressing Ctrl+T? It would be handy to run debug apps on terminal if running multiple tabs with different source location.

[Request] OpenAI Codex Plugin (like Github Copilot)

Github Copilot is a (paid) VSCode extension that previews autocompleted text from the OpenAI Codex API endpoint inline; users press "tab" to accept the suggestion.

As a core utility, this seems pretty straightforward to recreate as a Lite plugin that requires an OpenAI API key. Afterwards there'll probably be details to iterate on: https://thakkarparth007.github.io/copilot-explorer/posts/copilot-internals

add editorconfig

it would be nice if we're able to use editorconfig to manage our code style

How do we run a custom plugin?

I am new to lua and lite-xl. Though I am new to lua, I have previous experience in python. I am planning to learn plug-in development in lite-xl and followed this tutorial. The tutorial does not mention how to run or debug lua plugins while development.

What I have done is, I have put my simple plugin here ~/.local/share/lite-xl/simple.lua and run lua simple.lua but I am getting this error

[RE] Fix keymap binding on non-US keyboard when the required key has to be done using shift

While thinking about this problem I produced the plugin below.

The plugin generates a table that can be used to swap the keypressed character, the one Lite XL sees, with the desired character that appears on the same key. The characters that you wish to use for short-cuts are placed in the find array.
It uses ffi to synthesize keystrokes, only the Windows part is implemented.

Even if the plugin works as intended there will still be problem cases that can't be resolved by it.
I.e. where two characters, both employed as short-cuts, are implemented on the same key.

autoinsert plugin backspace bug

lite-xl version : 2.0.5-luajit (from AUR)

For instance i have this text file like this

"A",
"B"

Then, when i use backspace (or ctrl + backspace), for deleting break line, from the B left doublequote

 "B"
^ my cursor is here

expected

"A","B"

result

"A",B"

The left quotes of B is got deleted to.

---

Another example

some_function("foo bar")
             ^ my cursor is between parentheses & quote

When i delete parentheses

expected

some_function"foo bar")

result

some_functionfoo bar")

The quote got deleted too.

[Request] Dummy Text Plugin

I don't know if dummy text feature already exist or not. But I try to type lorem and press tab it is doesn't do anything. This feature are like on VSCode.
It would be nice to have a dummy text plugin like lorem ipsum generator for add some of content on our code if this is not available yet.
Thank you.

Autocomplete bug?

I started a new document, but the autocomplete keeps popping up as I type with these symbols I've never seen before? Is it a bug?

Shouldn't autocomplete only parse the current document for symbols? On a related note, I wish we could specify using regex what is parsed for autocomplete.

[Issue] Smoothcaret breaks multi-cursor rendering

When smoothcaret is enabled, only one caret appears when trying to use multi-cursor functionality.

Normally it looks like this:

OS: Fedora Linux 35 (Gnome 41.3 on Wayland)
Lite XL version: 2.0.5 (from the binary releases page)
