WingIDE Colorpicker

Dun dun dun! This is a plugin for WingIDE. When editing code, I got tired of constantly googling “color picker” when I needed to make a hex color for my CSS.

Dump this code in a file in your ~/.wingide3/scripts directory, run reload-scripts, and you have a colorpicker command. It will show a gtk color picker and insert that color in your code in #rrggbb format. If you have a color selected in your buffer at the time you invoke the command, it will be parsed, be the default in the editor, and replaced when you’re done.

It doesn’t add any menu items. You just have to use the command directly or add your on shortcuts.
