atom-talon

Atom package for integration with Talon (talonvoice.com)

See atom.py for supported commands.

Most of the nontrivial commands are implemented as follows:

atom.py sends ctrl-cmd-shift-alt-t to Atom
if the command needs parameters, the Atom extension captures all keyboard input until enter is pressed
atom.py sends the parameters and enter to Atom

This approach was chosen (over an out-of-band communication) to prevent out-of-order command execution in Atom.

To add a command:

add it to COMMANDS in both commands.js and atom.py
- for now, command instructions are single-letter
write the implementation in commands.js
- if the command needs parameters such as line numbers or search words, it must return a callback function. The callback is called with the parameter string when enter has been pressed.
- if the command doesn't need parameters, it must not return function.
add something to atom.py that triggers the command.
- please see talonvoice/talon#5.

NB: Talon sends the command and parameters to Atom one keypress at a time. For performance reasons, keep the parameters string short.
