Features

  • Execute any Atom command from a convenient console, as opposed to the built in command palette.
  • Execute custom commands!
  • Autocomplete!
  • Convenient tools: a bash shell, calculator, package installation, aliases, and more!

Installation

The latest stable version of atom-console is available through Atom's package manager in the settings or via
apm install atom-console.

Install the latest Github release (may be unstable) with:

cd ~/.atom/packages
git clone https://github.com/eschutz/atom-console.git atom-console
cd atom-console
apm install

Usage

Toggle atom-console with alt-ctrl-x, then enter any command specified within Atom. To see all available commands, open atom-console and type 'help'. To search for commands, type 'find'. Auto-complete with tab.

Some currently included non-Atom commands include commands bound to all grammar options in Atom ([lang]-mode) and package-install. A list of all built-in custom commands can be found in the commands section.

As development continues, more custom commands will be added, especially ones inspired by Emac's M-x console.

Commands

Atom Console contains all of Atom's commands available via the command palette, as well as a growing list of custom commands, such as [lang]-mode, package-install. and shell.

For more information and a complete list of custom commands, see the command documentation.
