A comment on Sublime Text 4. Parent comment

I am wondering if it's possible for Python plugin to add custom UI elements?

For example, if I am using Julia/R I want side panel that shows all my current variables in memory. Is Sublime plugin system capable of adding UI components such as variable/plot viewer and add custom interactions to those UI panels(i.e. zoom/rotation for plots)?

That's not currently possible, no. The only custom UI elements can be done using minihtml (a subset of html).

Mind sharing how you do this in R? Thanks!

I was thinking about something similar to the Environment panel in RStudio. You can also see all variables in a given session using ls()
