Plugins
=======
Starting from the 0.7.5 version, poezio supports plugins.
Here is a quick howto and a plugin index.
Setting up plugins
------------------
Poezio seeks the plugins in the :file:`~/.local/share/poezio/plugins/` dir (more
generally, the :file:`$XDG_DATA_HOME/poezio/plugins/` dir), but that can be changed
by setting the :term:`plugins_dir` option to the directory where you want to
put your plugins.
This means that if you want to use a plugin, you have to copy it (the .py file or the directory) into :term:`plugins_dir`.
Plugin autoload
---------------
Use the :term:`plugins_autoload` optionto select which plugins should be
loaded on startup. The value is a list of plugin names separated by colons,
e.g.
.. code-block:: ini
plugins_autoload = gpg:tell:exec
Plugin configuration
--------------------
Most plugins will manage their configuration internally, and you do not (and
should not) have to edit it, but some (e.g. mpd_client or gpg) require manual
editing (the :term:`/set` command can be used, but it is not pleasant to set
multiple values with it).
The plugin configuration directory is located in :file:`~/.config/poezio/plugins/`
(or :file:`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/poezio/plugins/`) and the file related to a specific
plugin is named :file:`plugin_name.cfg`. The configuration options should usually be
inside a section named after the plugin (sections are delimited with ``[]``).
.. code-block:: ini
[plugin_name]
key = value
other_key = other_value
