I’m looking at the plugin system at the moment and there are many ways to implement this. To make sure it’s as useful as possible it would be good to gather plugin ideas - basically what feature would you like to see that could make a good plugin? (Features that have many thumbs up on GitHub don’t qualify since these would be part of the core app) I’ve already collected these ideas over time, but I’m sure there others: Merge multiple notes into one - https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/request-combine-selected-notes/5692 Line numbers in text editor Add a quick note using a global shortcut - display a window, enter the note title and save. Import various formats - Google Keep, OneNote, etc Render a website, such as a blog, from a collection of notes - static website generator Export all notes as a tree structure, be notified of changes, and update the structure in real time Display above a note the number of checked / unchecked to-dos in a note Any other suggestions?

Plugin idea: Adjustable text width for rendered notes. [image] Max text width for reading pane - userstyle Lounge I find it’s difficult to read when your eyes have to track overly long lines of text. This: body { width: 100%; padding: auto; } div { margin: auto; max-width: 40em; } Makes it look like this instead: [image] (Add those lines to your userstyle.css in your Profile folder. You can tweak the width by changing the 40. Restart Joplin after saving changes.)

[image] robotcorner: A plugin that add's a theme option (i.e) custom themes, similar to VS Code, then you can select that theme from the theme menu. To add to this, I think a simple theme builder like Slack would be really nice. [slack themes] Ideally it would also allow for basic changes like Condensed/Regular (line height), Max Width of editor (like @diibv mentioned), Header size difference (make each header x times larger than the next, and let the user slide to change X) with some preset themes for what you generally work on "journaling", "code notes / math", "night mode" etc. As Laurent explained to me, [image]Plugin: Rich Markdown These variables are readonly so indeed the plugin you mentioned wouldn't be currently possible. In any case, these variables are derived from the theme file so perhaps the way to go is to allow creating a custom theme from a plugin, which shouldn't be too hard to implement. Once that's done, it should be possible to dynamically set the values from a config screen (although restarting the app might be necessary, I'm not sure). I am happy to create mockups for how this would work if anyone wants to collaborate on building it into a plugin.

I don't get it, doesn't the "all notes" button show this? And there are sort options, too.

I don't know if this would count as a plugin or a feature, but I would love the ability to change WYSIWYG fonts. The current font on Mac just seems weird. I'd also like the ability to set a "default" folder for new notes, instead of always resorting to whatever folder I was in last.

Would be good to have a way to install syntax highlighting for languages that aren't supported out of the box. This is prompted by No code syntax highlighting for x86asm in editor · Issue #4417 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub Maybe even have some sort of editor to define keywords/rules for highlighting like for instance Notepad++ has.

Incorporating the graphing tool charter would be incredible.

Link title update feature / plugin Would be good to have a way to update the titles of links in all linked notes if the tittle of the link source is changed to indicate :cross_mark::link: broken internal links if the link source is deleted Why It helps to keep growing and evolving documentation: you might not need to worry about updating titles in one note and run around the backlinks to update the displayed title on other notes. Example Suppose you made a first draft of a note Favorite lunch, you link it to other notes. Then the note changed direction and you change the title to Sandwiches. Now everywhere else in the notebook it links to Sandwiches but title being displayed as Favorite lunch. And to change the title, you need painstakingly copy the updated title everywhere where it was linked before. Demonstration This demo shows my take how this feature might look like. Broken links are shown in the body and the title of a note. [screen-2021-04-08-11-11-03] I think this feature also might be great addition for some existing plugins (like Automatic backlinks/@ambrt , Quick Links Plugin/@roman_r_m , Rich Markdown/@CalebJohn) if the creator is interested. Want this feature? - leave a :heart: to indicate its popularity Any questions? text me :slightly_smiling_face:

A Tooltip Glossary plugin would be awesome. Whenever you mouseover a word that has a note linked to it (maybe the word is the title and the note has a a specific tag), its content (the definition) appears in a floating tooltip.

Two ideas for the RTF/WYSIWYG editor, not sure if either is possible though. Add (dynamic) TOC support to the RTF editor As of now the the RTF editor converts the [toc] markdown keyword to a list of internal links. However, when changing, deleting or adding new headers, the list of links is not updated. The only workaround I found is to create a template consisting only of "[toc]" and manually inserting it at the top of the note (and deleting the "old" static list) whenever there are header changes. Maybe this process could be automated. Add markdown syntax support to the RTF editor e.g. typing "- [some text]" triggers a bullet point formatting

Any suggestions on what plugins could be created?
