# Randomize Everything



Randomize Everything is a [Nova](https://nova.app) extension that adds commands to randomly generate numbers, strings, colors and a myriad of other things, which can be pretty handy when you need placeholder, demo or test content.



## Installation



You can [install Randomize Everything from the Nova extensions website](https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/querkmachine/querkmachine.RandomizeEverything/).



From within Nova, you can install Randomize Everything using Nova's Extension Library. Do this by going to 'Extensions' in the menu bar and clicking on 'Extension Library...' (alternatively press ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + 2 on your keyboard), and then searching for Randomize Everything.



## Usage



Once installed and activated, Randomize Everything can be accessed several ways:



- Through the Command Palette, my personal favourite ('View' and 'Command Palette...' in the menu, ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + P).

- As an option in the Editor menu ('Editor' and 'Randomize Everything'), when a compatible document is open.

- Via the right-click context menu, when a compatible document is open.

## Contributing



Whilst basic, this is my first time developing an extension for a code editor. There might be silly mistakes or questionable decisions here and there. Feel free to submit pull requests to fix anything that's obviously off-kilter.



Randomize Everything is tailored to the use cases that I typically need it for. If there's something that can be added that you think would benefit others, feel free to raise an issue to suggest it!



## Thanks



Inspired by, and hat tip to, [random-sublime-text-plugin](https://github.com/kimpettersen/random-sublime-text-plugin) and [nova-uuid](https://github.com/henrikdahl/nova-uuid) for the inspiration and the handy dandy open source code I used to get started.
