-## 🛠️ **Plugin Development**
-### **Plugin API**
-**Communication Method**: Windows Messages
-**Language**: C++ (primary), others via FFI
-**API Version**: Notepad++ Plugin Interface v2.0+
-### **Basic Plugin Structure**
-```cpp
-// Minimal plugin skeleton
-#include "PluginInterface.h"
-// Plugin name
-const TCHAR* PLUGIN_NAME = L"MyPlugin";
-// Required exports
-extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void setInfo(NppData notepadPlusData);
-extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) const TCHAR* getName();
-extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) FuncItem* getFuncsArray(int *nbF);
-extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void beNotified(SCNotification *notifyCode);
-extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) LRESULT messageProc(UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
-extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) BOOL isUnicode();
-// Implementation...
-```
----
-### **Plugin Communication**
-**Message Types**:
-- `NPPM_*` - Notepad++ messages (file operations, UI control)
-- `SCI_*` - Scintilla messages (editor control, text manipulation)
-- `WM_*` - Windows messages (standard Win32)
-**Example Operations**:
-```cpp
-// Get current file path
-TCHAR path[MAX_PATH];
-::SendMessage(nppData._nppHandle, NPPM_GETFULLCURRENTPATH, MAX_PATH, (LPARAM)path);
-// Get editor text
-int length = ::SendMessage(nppData._scintillaMainHandle, SCI_GETLENGTH, 0, 0);
-char* text = new char[length + 1];
-::SendMessage(nppData._scintillaMainHandle, SCI_GETTEXT, length + 1, (LPARAM)text);
-// Insert text
-::SendMessage(nppData._scintillaMainHandle, SCI_ADDTEXT, strlen(text), (LPARAM)text);
-```
