Plugins Menu

PyBreeze supports a plugin system for extending functionality. Plugins are auto-discovered from the jeditor_plugins/ directory in your working directory.

Plugin Browser

Opens the plugin browser interface where you can:

Browse available plugins
View plugin details
Install new plugins

Loaded Plugins

After startup, any plugins found in jeditor_plugins/ are automatically loaded and listed under the Plugins menu. Each loaded plugin appears as a menu entry.

Run With Menu

The Run With menu provides options to run the current file using different compilers and interpreters. This is dynamically built based on available language support.

Supported languages include:

C – Compile and run with gcc/clang
C++ – Compile and run with g++/clang++
Go – Run with go run
Java – Compile and run with javac/java
Rust – Compile and run with rustc

Note

The available “Run With” options depend on which compilers/interpreters are installed on your system and discoverable via the system PATH.

Creating Plugins

For detailed information on creating custom plugins, including syntax highlighting plugins and UI translation plugins, see the Plugin Guide.

Syntax Highlighting Plugin Example

Plugins can extend syntax highlighting with custom keywords:

# jeditor_plugins/my_syntax_plugin.py
from je_editor import syntax_word_dict

syntax_word_dict.update({
    "my_keyword": "keyword_format",
    "my_function": "function_format",
})

UI Translation Plugin Example

Plugins can add new UI translations:

# jeditor_plugins/my_language_plugin.py
from je_editor import language_wrapper

language_wrapper.language_word_dict.update({
    "application_name": "My Custom Name",
    # ... more translations
})
