Make Quick Drop Shortcuts (plugins) Available for LabVIEW Project Items

[jgcode]

• I like to make plugin tools that work on items in the project e.g. Libraries/Classes.
• I like implementing these plugins using the Quick Drop plugin framework.
• And I normally always work with the LabVIEW Project in my standard workflow. 

If I want to act on a Library, obviously I can just open a Member VI and get a reference to the Parent Library to do this.

However, I feel it would be more natural to Quick Drop on the Library in the Project itself!!

I also feel that it would be faster...

...And isn't that what Quick Drop was invented for?

I don't know if native options would ever exist, I am looking to call my own shortcuts - but there is alot of scope to implement custom plugins.

I have only given one example above.

Cheers

I've wanted this for a while as well.
