I don’t think people realize how easy it is to make Sublime plugins. They can be as simple as a single .py file. No dependencies install step, no meta files, no rituals to go through. Just drop the .py file in the right directory. I’ve used Gemini to build about 3-4 plugins of various complexity and they all work great

Can I drop it in the 'wrong' directory and have ST pick it up from there? I like apps that are as flexible as possible when it comes to file organization.

I believe if you are using a project workspace (working in a directory with a .sublime-project file) then you can also write plugins right there in the project. But, if you wanted, you can use symlinks. Sublime will follow symlinks. I use this to sync my settings to Dropbox so I can have the same setup on any computer
