**PG Dev Tool** Plugin codename PGMonaco, an integration of monaco code editor and terminal to Pinegrow. Monaco Editor is used in Visual Studio Code and many applications.
This was a feature request I created in the forum to help me stop the software jumping in my development process that ended up to be a personal project for me.
During the creation I got to hear a lot of users request and tried to implement them and scale from there.
**Available** features for now:
- Integrated Monaco
- Integrated terminal into PG \*\*
- emmet for html and css
- support for html, css, C#, json, razor, php, typescript and javascript enabled (most intellisense are not implemented yet)
- Perfect intellisense for html and css.
- Click on none html files and auto open on editor
- Auto update preview
- go to line in editor - Ctrl + G
- open editor - F7
- open terminal - alt + `
- pop out editor \*\*
- Multiple tabs in editor
- Single tab for terminal
- All basic monaco editor features available
- Devtool Menubar Enable you to carry out the functions from it.
- and more to come.
> \*\* indicates know issues and due to the promise of the release on the 14th of February no time to fix
**Shortcuts**
> Alt + ` _open terminal_
> F7 _open Monaco editor_
**How to Install**
> NodeJs must be installed on your system [download it from the official site](https://nodejs.org)
> [Then simply download the zip file from github](https://github.com/ehigiepaul/PGDevTool/releases)
> Extract it anywhere and Open Pinegrow
> File \> Manage libraries and plugins \> load plugin
> Navigate to the extracted file and pick the PGDevTools.js
> add it and you are set and ready to go.

For anyone trying out Paulās plugin, take a note of this, the monaco editor is not a replacement of the existing pinegrow code editor, rather itās an add-on.
**To open monaco editor - F7**
**To open terminal - alt + `**
Open your html page, and then hit F7 to open the monaco code editorā¦ I havenāt tried the terminal yetā¦

Hi Paul,
Nice work! Unbelievable that you created this in such a short time period! ššæ š
Try to make a payment with the flutterwave panel but when I want to pay a blurry panel appears on my screen that I can hardly read. Are you sure itās OK?
Tried the plugin and can open the editor, but the terminal doesnāt open. Latest Windows 10 and Pinegrow.
Regards,
David

Hi Paul,
Tried the plugin on my iMac, but the editor looks completely black despite the fact that I open a page. The terminal doesnāt open as well. Latest Big Sur and Pinegrow.

Yes, and pay attention to the additional belated info
\*\* NodeJs must be installed on your system [download it from the official site](https://nodejs.org/)\*\*
As without thisā¦ it doesnt work.
I know thisā¦ asā¦ I dont have Node installed.
Sigh.
Black Editor, and some errors, Chrome Dev tools pops up andā¦ you may loose. your workspaces, which will reappear once you remove tool.
But, you WILL get to see it š ā¦ minus the terminal, but alas it will have no code in it.
To be explored after horses š

Paul did mention in a private chat when I raised this, that he will update the plugin for Mac, looks like his cross-platform build might have some flaws when used on OSX based systems!

Yes and he said on Windows as well!
Iām not able to pay with that flutterwave system. I used it when working in Africa, but we changed to PayPal. PayPal is available in Nigeria too by the way!

NO problem. š
well, maybe a little one.
Still its rather exciting that someone fresh has rolled into townā¦ made a request, decided to do it himself and has been able too!.. I guessā¦ I cant see it yet, but its great!
The whole, plugin ecosystem is there ā¦ it ā¦justā¦isnātā¦ very busy.
I guess it might need some _ease of access_ or docs, or something, I have NO IDEAā¦ as Im not a plugin dev/that sort of coder, but its fab that someone else is having a go too , 3rd party.
I can probably count on one hand those that Ive seenā¦ and 2 of them are now core PG team š
_respect_
I can waitā¦ now, with regards Nodeā¦ I will post a **Random** Channel question on this,
And , If any testing is required,
I have OS Xās from 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard -the best) -runs PG version 3ā¦possibly 3.95?
To 10.7 (lion-yuk) PG 4 on
10.12 Sierra,
10.13 High Sierra (rather dandy!)
and now
10.14.6 (Mojave)
I MAY do a Catalina 10.15 install too on an SSD and rip this iMac apart or boot externally,
If any of these need testing on.
I know I had to upgrade OS a couple of times to install PG (was gutted) but not sure of the cross overs.
NONE of these have NODE or npm installed,
-and all of the above are separate installs on 2 machines, so rebooting a lot š
there are a couple of low power Linux laptops here too, and an older Ubuntu if any of these would be helpful with regards Testing for @ehigiepaul
now off to make my Node Question.

Hi Paul,
On Windows opening a PHP page results in a black editor.

I have seen everyone issue and am on it, will just have to call this version Beta. Am really sorry for this.
I felt as it works well on my end, it will seamlessly crossover to all OS platforms.
**Status reports:**
- On windows all seem to work fine, will release fix for terminal not running on some systems
- Nodejs install no terminal.
- Monaco editor blank screen
For mac user I will have to get a mac to debug and release a different package or I will have to make a script to auto make builds on all system to resolve most of the issues of the terminal and mocaco blank screen.
Am sorry again and am on it still.

Crack on, and keep up the good work.
Will happily break your Betas for you š
