Atom Features and Todo Items:

Atom Toolbar Requirements

• run terminal commands from atom
• vagrant actions [ db snapshot, db import, magento debug on/off]
• open key folders (BOOKMARKS)
• dropdown terminal
• open current in file exploer
• manage projects config
• beautify - formatting
• regex toolbar - formatting/align buttons
• custom actions panel
• open config files/folder in popup (TEMPORARY VIEW FOR ATOM VS ADDING TO PROJECT FOLDERS)
• fuzzy finder search bar (always there)

---

Functionality Needed

Better Pacakge Settings Interfaces

I spend too much time trying to go back and forth between working files and settings page trying to configure things. There needs to be more hooks into the package settings and better workflow options

• open to package settings directly

• open settings in new tab

• open config folder action instead of open config

• project tools (or simple buttons ) integrated into tree view [add, remove, switch projects]

---

Custom package settings

use pre-definied buttons or use fuzzy findder/autocomplete

atom.workspace.open("atom://config/packages/package-name")

see atom config settings https://atom.io/docs/api/v1.18.0/Config

Atom built in package settings commands

Existing Packages

  note: both small and simple, could be used as starting point

• project-dropdown https://atom.io/packages/project-dropdown

  note: this one is decent but still missing some functionality

https://atom.io/packages/project-manager

https://atom.io/packages/project-view

https://atom.io/packages/tree-view-project

UI Improvements

• Auto resize treeview - https://github.com/AdrianVovk/tree-view-autoresize

• Add new panes to treeview - https://github.com/hswolff/tree-view-extended

  example: see open files https://github.com/postcasio/tree-view-open-files

• Show cursor scope in status bar

• Split docks (bottom takes up too much space, could easily split, useful for terminals)

• Add commands to tree view with Context Menu: https://atom.io/packages/useful-context-menu
