Hi-
I’m more of a vi/vim than an Atom guy. Wondering if there’s any documentation out there on the API used by StartAtomEditorListener that’d set me up to write a vi/vim macro that could shoot a block of Python code into the same interface for execution. I realize this might mean writing some code to push a block of code (likely via an HTTP REST interface) and there’s likely some security issues I’d also need to deal with.
I tried to search the forums and google for any other attempt at this problem, and have not found anything yet. If I missed something obvious, would be grateful for a clue.
I realize vim/vi has some haters out there, and that’s cool…to each their own.
A lot of coders grew up with vi though and they just prefer that environment as their native system. I realize that Atom has a “vi key settings” options, but that’s not what I am looking for. Would prefer to use all of the rest of vi/vim with Python and Rhino.
I’ll bet there may be others who have the same preference.
@jesterKing – Cool to see the support out there. Yeah vim!
Just to keep the dialogue moving, I see that when I start the Atom editor listener; rhino says:
Listening for Atom editor requests on port 8080 …
…which is a standard HTTP port. I’ll guess I could just try to reverse engineer the protocol from some linux traffic monitoring tools. Just like with tmux, I could define some vim macros that’d take highlighted code and write it to disk; then use curl (if its HTTP) to shoot the code on over.
Just thinking out loud here. Happy to take any input anyone else has to offer.
