Plugins

Plugins add buttons to the top bar, commands with their own shortcuts, sections in the sidebar, marks in the text and code blocks drawn as pictures. They're small pieces of JavaScript that run on your Mac, each off until you turn it on.

Install one from Coffee, in Settings, Plugins, Browse Plugins. Every plugin in the directory was read by Coffee before it was listed, and each version is checked when it downloads, so what installs is exactly what was reviewed. Updates install by themselves, unless one asks to do more than before; that one waits for you.
