<div><br>Yes you could do that, though the plugin doesn't necessarily browse the user's whole filesystem, just selected places relative to plugin development [0]. However, on Unix boxes you can just symbolically link in whatever you like. The browser has a QFileSystemModel backend.<br>
<br>For a large .rst project like the QGIS manual, it may not be much different than using a separate text editor. Having Plugin Editor embedded (installed) in QGIS offers the advantages of consistency of interface/tools and portability, useful for new plugin developers and teaching/seminar environments. There are many clever things you can do with it, but if you are already an experienced developer, you may find its features only occasionally useful compared with your current workflow.<br>

Salavtore: this one seems to work, thanks.<br>
Nathan: thanks for the link, but it's outdated (e.g. no gedit3
support for rst, unfortunately), and I think it will be confusing
for newbies. Are we going to select suggest a couple of tools for
our writers?<br>
For now the simplest options seem vim and retext, right?<br>
All the best.<span><font color="#888888"></font></span><br></div></blockquote><div><br>@Salvatore - ReText has a very nice live preview. Fails on sphinx docs right now, though.<br><br>Currently, I use Eric4, which offers syntax-highlighting via Pygments package for rst. Since I am reimplementing many features of Eric4's text editor in my Plugin Editor plugin, it also offers highlighting for rst files, directly from within QGIS [0]. It looks like I could incorporate ReText (since it is PyQt-based, and just a single file) into Plugin Editor, as well (maybe second release). I'll have a beta release of Plugin Editor ready within the next week or so.<br>
