The Script Plugin is now superseded by Quickscript.

Script-Plugin: A script system for DrRacket

The script plugin is a tool for DrRacket which allows to quickly and easily extend DrRacket features, without having to restart it. The scripts are automatically accessible from a new menu in DrRacket.

See the docs for how to make a script.

It is already packed with a number of useful such scripts:

• color-chooser: Pick a color graphically and insert it in DrRacket's current file
• complete-word: Word completion from a give user dictionary

• my-functions: Simple example on how to build submenus for your scripts
• open-collects: Shortcut to open a racket/collects file in DrRacket
• open-dir: Open the OS explorer in the directory of the file
