Ask HN: Is there a library for creating cross-editor plugins?
3 points by snrji on Sept 21, 2019 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Hi there, assume that you have an idea for a plugin for text editors (or IDEs), but you don't want to mess up with the specifics of Sublime's API or Atom's API. Is there any higher level API that would help me abstract away from Vim's, Emacs' or IntelliJ's APIs?

I'm not looking for specially fancy features, so it should be possible. However, I don't know if I'm looking the right keywords.



If the plugin you want to make is around language support in an editor (i.e. autocomplete, goto definition, or documentation), the Language Server Protocol might work.

Hey! I didn't see your answer. That's very useful, thanks!
