I use this on an ancient Chromebook because VSCode and Lapce feel sluggish in comparison. What it really needs is a plugin manager.

We actually do have one, about to be released: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager

Comes with a plugin to provide a gui in lite-xl. Once this gets to 1.0, we'll probably start bundling it with the `addons` release.

I hope LPM gets to 1.0 soon. Having to download a lua file or clone a repository to plugins directory is easy, but it can get messy overtime. Also, I hope Lite XL has a plugin store/market like Sublime's packagecontrol.io or open-vsx.org. I think the current lite-xl-plugins repository is just too basic.
