New Package Roundup
February 23, 2015 izuzak
It’s been too long since our last package roundup post, so we wanted to share a few neat packages the community developed. If you notice any new and interesting packages, let us know!
AtomPair
The @pusher team created an amazing package for remote pair programming with features for text synchronization, file-sharing, HipChat invitations, synchronized syntax highlighting, and collaborator visibility. Check out their blog post for more information.
Symbols Tree View
Similar to the taglist and tagbar plugins for VIM, this package from @xndcn organizes symbols in a tree view and scrolls to the destination when you click a symbol. Great work!
Block cursor
@olmokramer brings us a package for customizing the cursor in a number of ways, including cursor type, secondary color and pulse duration.
Project Palette Finder
Another useful tool from one of the most productive package authors, @abe33, this package finds and exposes colors defined in a project’s CSS, Less, Sass or Stylus files.
Git Control
@jacogr created a graphical interface to manage commonly-used Git commands (for example, switching branches, selecting files for commits, merging, and resetting files). The author says that this is a first-release and there are some issues remaining, but it’s definitely worth checking out.
Redacted
As @ymendel puts it, this package is: “████ plugin ████████ █████████ redaction █████████████ for Atom, ███ ████████ text ██████ ███ ███ ████ ███████.” A true gem!
