removePlugins

String

Specifies the plugins, which come by default with CKEditor, but which are not needed by AlloyEditor. These plugins add the default UI for CKeditor, which is no more needed. Please note that AlloyEdtor comes with its own highly optimized copy of CKEditor (just customized via their official download page). This version does not come with the unneeded plugins, so the value of this property won't be needed. However, if you decide to go with the OOTB version of CKEditor, you will have to remove some of the plugins if you decide to use AlloyEditor. Keep in mind that removing these plugins doesn't remove them entirely from CKEditor. It just removes them from its current instance, in which you will use different UI - those of AlloyEditor. You will be fully able to use both OOTB CKEditor and AlloyEditor on the same page!

Default: 'contextmenu,toolbar,elementspath,resize,liststyle,link'
