How to Use Extensions

Pulse Editor is a modular, extensible creative platform that allows users to install any extension they need for their creative workflow, and enables extension developers to publish extensions and have a chance to earn.

There are two types of extensions:

• File View Extension
  File View Extension is opened when a file is opened in view. Pulse Editor determines which extension to load based on a file's type/suffix/extension. e.g. .txt, .png, .py
• Console View Extension
  Console View Extension is opened without a file view object. Often it does not need to interact with a file (reading/writing). You can open the console panel by clicking terminal in the toolbar, then you can find all installed Console View Extensions.
