# Writing plugins
|
||||
|
||||
You can start enabling a plugin called "experimental" and add code to `plugins/experimental.py`.
|
||||
A better way is to copy this as a starting point and make your own python module.
|
||||
Plugins can be loaded with full python module path, eg: `"mymodule.pyprlandplugin"`, the loaded module must provide an `Extension` interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Check the `interface.py` file to know the base methods, also have a look at the other plugins for working examples.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a command
|
||||
|
||||
Just add a method called `run_<name of your command>`, eg with "togglezoom" command:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
async def init(self):
|
||||
self.zommed = False
|
||||
|
||||
async def run_togglezoom(self, args):
|
||||
if self.zoomed:
|
||||
await hyprctl('misc:cursor_zoom_factor 1', 'keyword')
|
||||
else:
|
||||
await hyprctl('misc:cursor_zoom_factor 2', 'keyword')
|
||||
self.zoomed = not self.zoomed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Reacting to an event
|
||||
|
||||
Similar as a command, implement some `event_<the event you are interested in>` method.
