[Help]Ran into 2 issues while making a plugin

feiwu · Today, 07:58 AM

I made an AI plugin called 'Chinese Search Enhancement.' Its main features are skipping HTML tags and matching Chinese variants.

But I ran into two problems:

1. Can't jump or highlight matches. AI said Sigil hasn't opened up this kind of API.

2. I can't operate Sigil while the plugin is running.

Correct for both of those points. Neither is possible. They're really the same thing. There is no interaction with Sigil while a plugin is running. The only thing you can do is return a plugin's results to Sigil after the plugin is done running.
