New Package Roundup

June 23, 2014 izuzak izuzak Tweet

It’s been a while since our last package roundup. In the meantime, the number of packages has grown to over 850, so we wanted to share a few more packages we found interesting and useful.

If you’ve created or used some great packages, we’d love to hear about them! Let us know :mega: on the forum or ping :bell: our Twitter account.

bezier-curve-editor

First up, @abe33 brings us this amazing :sparkles: package for all our CSS Bezier curve editing needs.

file-icons and filetype-color

If you wanted to make the Tree View more :lipstick:, then the file-icons package (by @danbrooker) and the filetype-color package (by @sommerper) are just the right things for you!

These two packages make it super-easy to set icons and colors for files and folders shown in the tree view, “for improved visual grepping”.

regex-railroad-diagram

Getting trolled by regular expressions is one of the perks of writing software. This package enhances the experience by showing you a railroad diagram of the regex under your cursor. Even though @klorenz mentions that this package is still under development, we couldn’t not mention it. :zap:

editor-settings

This package by @nirix adds support for per-language and per-file extension editor settings. Not all settings are supported, but more than enough to be useful. Also, @nirix already has plans to provide support for per-directory editor settings.

There’s a feature request to provide this ability in Atom core, but in the meantime - this package is a great way to get that. Also, check out editorconfig, a similar package by @sindresorhus, and this approach by @lee-dohm who uses the init.coffee script to achieve something similar.

resize-panes

Resizing panes is another feature request on Atom core. Until that’s implemented, you might want to try this neat package by @santip.

The same author brings us two other packages for working with panes: move-panes for moving the active tab to another pane, and maximize-panes for maximizing the active pane.

atom-color-highlight

If you use the color-picker, then you’ll enjoy this packages as well. Thanks again @abe33!
