Share a Toolbox with networked team members or distribute valuable Toolbox items to other Komodo users with the import/export function.

Extensibility

XPI Extensions

Create your own plug-ins. XPI extension support provides the same capability as Firefox, with all standard Mozilla APIs based on XUL, XBL, and XPCOM, plus our own for Python and JavaScript. With an active community providing examples, advice and support, Komodo IDE's power is as boundless as your imagination.
