// Your idea

Suggest a plugin

OctoEdit grows through plugins — and the best ones start as someone's “I wish it could…”. Tell us what you'd build or want to see, and help decide what comes first.

// What helps

Tell us a little about it

A single sentence is enough to start — but if you can, include:

  • 💡

    The idea

    What should the plugin do, in a sentence or two?

  • 🎯

    The problem

    What are you trying to get done that OctoEdit doesn't help with yet?

  • 👥

    Who it's for

    Just you, your team, or a whole language or workflow community?

  • 🔗

    Prior art

    Seen something similar elsewhere? A link or a name gives us a head start.

Want to build it yourself?

OctoEdit ships a documented plugin SDK and Python scripting, so you can turn an idea into a working plugin from a small starter project — no editor source code required. Head to the developer documentation to get started.

Ready when you are

Send as much or as little as you like — every idea helps steer the roadmap.
