Call up plugins in a quicker menu system on the right sidebar like Adobe

Because this will clutter up the otherwise clean looking interface, but quick plugin access is a must-have if you are a power user.

Probably try assigning shortcuts to your most used plugins, and before soon, you’ll find the most graceful way to navigate between plugins 😃

I understand the clutter issue. But if you look at Adobe’s system they have multiple collapse states for the toolbar items to efficiently clean that part up. Any single plugin could live under a square icon next to the main right sidebar. It could just expand/collapse with a click to clean up the interface. This would serve more as a hide/show vs a close so that the plugin is still in the current state you leave it in.

The issue with just pushing it to call up the plugins with shortcuts is they pull their open state every time they start up which is not efficient. Take the unsplash plugin for instance… Open plugin > click on the search icon > click on search field > type query > wait for query to load > click photo.

It’s way too many steps and the only reason it is closed is because I needed to access another plugin (ex: contrast checker or a dummy content section tool)

The keyboard shortcuts solution is how I am currently using it, but this seems like a reasonable concept.

Hi all, is anyone want to access the plugins quickly like me?
I really want to access plugins quickly, but for now, It consumes many extra clicks. Especially some plugin automatically closed after clicking on the main button.

Here is my ideas, We may add the Plugin bar on the right of the screen

Preferably, you can allow users to do custom actions. (Drag and drop fixed)。

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

• I find myself constantly navigating up to my Plugins dropdown to open various plugins. It would be really convenient to have a Plugins Panel that is added to either the left or right nav columns for easy access. Reference Adobe After Effects and the ability to add script panels. Thanks!

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
   I’m tired to have to search for the same plugin over and over again each time I open a new document

2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
   So I’d like a button here :

3. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
   (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

Had the same idea when Plugins were first announced and my plugin list grew until it got too big.

And I also thought that there would be a nice spot to place a few Plugin Icons to make your faves clickable. And in the dropdown Menus you could click a Star icon or even click a star icon in the command prompt on the suggested plugins.

My current workaround is to just use the command input.

Instead of having to right-click or drill through the menu every time you wish to use a plugin. It would save so much time if it was permanently fixed to the top bar (eg; next frame/text/comment tools), or to the right in the same section as Design (Eg; above or below Auto Layout/Layer/Fill etc).

Saving just one extra click would be such an easy win!
This may have been covered, but couldn’t find it anywhere.

Thanks.
