This will execute your class and do the requested action. To see it in action, you will need to open the console and type: n_command('example') Its function is simple: the line “Hello, World!” is prepended to the beginning of the document you are viewing.

You will want to open the console at this point so you know what’s going on behind the scenes. If there are errors, they will show in the console. ST3 will also scan and validate your plugin. Your plugin is immediately included as active (due to the import references at the beginning of the code). py file (ex: cnpremailer.py) in that location. (WIN7): C:\Users\”Username”\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\PackagesĪfter you’ve created your desired folder you can save your new plugin as a.(OSX): Users\”Username”\Library\Application Support\Sublime Text 3\Packages.Prior to saving you will want to create a folder for your plugin in the following location (where “Username” is your actual user name): To begin, open ST3, click the “tools” menu and select “New Plugin.” This will open the new plugin template for editing.

I honestly learned a lot just from reading Python 3 documentation and referencing the API and am hoping to pass that along to you.Īll plugins start the same way: “hey, wouldn’t it be nice if this wonderful application did …. I started out with the ST2 Plugin Tutorial (which this tutorial will follow) but discovered some of the methods used were deprecated and caused errors when running the plugin. Like anything there is a vocabulary that you need to pay close attention to in order to learn more of the advanced aspects involved.
