Custom external commands in the GUI - Page 2

Brilliant, thanks very much for the example Kovid, I've changed both my "Search the internet" and "Add to user category" to zip plugins.

What is your preferred distribution strategy for user created plugins like these? i.e. Where should I put these zips for others who are interested? Attached to the tickets, attached to the feature forum threads and/or somewhere else?

Perhaps a new forum thread dedicated to UI plugins that gets made sticky? I will add a thread shortly in lieu of suggested alternatives, an admin can always change it if you want otherwise...

Under OSX, the keystrokes required to invoke the sample Hello World plugin are Cmd+Shift+H - it appears that the keyboard mapping for modifier keys is not correct.

Yes on OS X Ctrl is automatically mapped to Cmd by Qt as some all? Apple keyboards dont have Ctrl

@kiwidude: A sticky thread is fine by me. I'll stick your thread later today.
