hacker-typist for Atom

Write code automatically in Atom. Inspired by http://hackertyper.com/

It works by "pasting" the code you want from your clipboard and then that code is written out, no matter what keys you type*.

It inserts code character by character into atom and so all of your existing plugins will run such as autopair.

Motivation

This package was written because when I was recording screencasts and I kept making typos. With Hacker Typist, I'm able to copy prepared code from another file, and then "type" it in without mistakes.

How to use:

Open a file in Atom.
Copy some code to your clipboard
Press ctrl + alt + p to paste the code into Hacker Typist .
Type like a child
Hit esc when you're finished

Client / Server (experimental)

This package also comes with an experimental client/server to send code to Hacker Typist. To use it

Press ctrl + alt + s to start a TCP server that lisens for code
In a new tab, run: node ~/.atom/packages/hacker-typist/bin/ht-set-code.js <path-to-file> or use stdin pbpaste | node ~/.atom/packages/hacker-typist/bin/ht-set-code.js
Return to new file, type like a child
Press esc to end and close the server

Developing
