Thomas,
Thanks for that, it now makes it clearer where you are going, and
allows the individual steps to make more sense.
I agree with your four problems (shortened):
- linkage
- keybindings
- plugin context
- allow for proxies
My concern is that the solutions seem complex, though, having followed
your attempts over time to address these issues, I do understand that
some of the "simple" options don't actually cut it.
Will need to think on it further.
Which of these steps seem complex to you in particular? Perhaps I can
explain more detail on those to make things clearer for you. For me,
none of these is really that complex, both in terms of conceptual
complexity and lines of code changed. The most complex is probably the
pluxy part, but still not really complex IMO (it's just a bit of
refactoring of the internal load/unload functions functions and an API
that allows plugins to add such functions for some filetypes). If
anything, complexity is added by maintaining backward compatibility.
My current roadmap is such that it requires the least amount of changes
to Geany core while still enabling libpeas-based and other non-C plugins
to co-exist with standard plugins and not be second class citizens.
Other simple options (that provide a solution for the above, i.e. not
current geanypy) don't exist. In fact, the other solution I have tried
brought significant changes to Geany core to support libpeas-plugins
directly in the core. Simple isn't always best too, we should strive to
make all of this effort future proof but at the same time maintain
backward compatibility.
Best regards.
