Plover Practice Plugin

This Plover plugin project contains examples of the following types of plugins:

• Command (e.g. "{:COMMAND:OPEN_URL:https://www.openstenoproject.org/}")
• Meta (e.g. "{:RANDOM_NUMBER:1:100}")
• Extension (e.g. "{:GET_ENV_VAR:$USER}")

It is a companion repo to the following blog post:

• Creating Plover Plugins with Python

This plugin is meant for educational purposes only, and hence deliberately not entered into the Plover Plugins Registry, so it will not show up in Plover's Plugins Manager (though it has be released to PyPI, where you can find it here).

Install

I recommend following the blog post to build out the plugin yourself, but if you just want to test it out on your machine, you can install it using Git:

git clone [e-mail]:paulfioravanti/plover-practice-plugin.git
cd plover-practice-plugin
plover --script plover_plugins install --editable .

Where plover in the command is a reference to your locally installed version of Plover. See the Invoke Plover from the command line page for details on how to create that reference.

Enabling the Extension

• After re-opening Plover, open the Configuration screen (either click the Configuration icon, or from the main Plover application menu, select Preferences...)
• Open the Plugins tab
• Check the box next to plover_practice_plugin to activate the plugin
