Awesome-omni-skill vvvv-editor-extensions

Helps create vvvv gamma editor extensions — .HDE.vl file naming, Command node registration with keyboard shortcuts, SkiaWindow/SkiaWindowTopMost window types, docking with WindowFactory, and API access to hovered/selected nodes via VL.Lang Session nodes. Use when building editor plugins, custom tooling windows, or automating editor workflows.

Editor Extensions

Extensions are standard VL patches saved with a

.HDE.vl

suffix. They run automatically when open in the editor.

File Naming

Context	Required Name
Standalone extension	`VL.MyExtension.HDE.vl`
Extension-only NuGet	`VL.MyExtension.HDE` (package ID)
Mixed NuGet main doc	`VL.MyPackage.vl`
Mixed NuGet extension doc	`VL.MyPackage.HDE.vl`

Command Node

Registers a command in the editor menu:

Pin	Purpose
`Label`	Menu text
`Visible`	Show/hide the command
`Shortcut`	Keyboard binding
Output	Triggers (bang) on activation

Multiple

Command

nodes can live in one

.HDE.vl

document.

Warning: A runtime error in one command may affect all others in the same document.

Window Types

Type	Behavior
`SkiaWindow`	Slimmed-down Skia renderer window
`SkiaWindowTopMost`	Always-on-top, no focus steal

Docking

Wrap window with

WindowFactory

node. Connect

WindowContext

and

Window

pins.

Template:

VL.HDE/Template.HDE.vl

API Access

Access hovered/selected nodes, read/write pins via

VL.Lang

Session

category nodes. Browse available API in the HelpBrowser's

API

section.

Developer Shortcuts

Shift+F9 — restarts all extensions simultaneously

Limitations

Settings panel integration is not yet possible
Extensions only run in the editor, not in exported applications
