This is an console plugin for Zellij written in Rust. It aim at exposing zellij’s functionnality through a plugin. The plugin interface have the particularity to be user aware unlike the command line interface.
More about Zellij plugins: Zellij Documentation
Note: you will need to have wasm32-wasi
added to rust as a target to build the plugin. This can be done with rustup target add wasm32-wasi
.
You can load the ./plugin-dev-workspace.kdl
file as a Zellij layout to get a terminal development environment:
Either when starting Zellij:
zellij --layout ./plugin-dev-workspace.kdl
Note that in this case there's a small bug where the plugin is opened twice, it can be remedied by closing the oldest instance or loading with the new-tab action as secified below - this will be addressed in the near future
Or from a running Zellij session:
zellij action new-tab --layout ./plugin-dev-workspace.kdl
- Build the project:
cargo build
- Load it inside a running Zellij session:
zellij action start-or-reload-plugin file:target/wasm32-wasi/debug/rust-plugin-example.wasm
- Repeat on changes (perhaps with a
watchexec
or similar command to run on fs changes).
