VoiceCode / Atom Integration Package

This is an Atom package/plugin that lets VoiceCode http://voicecode.io control Atom http://atom.io

This integration is needed because many VoiceCode voice commands are more sophisticated than simply pressing keys or clicking the mouse. For example, a command that selects the next curly brace, or a command that extends the current selection(s) forward until the next comma, etc. It also enables synchronous bidirectional communication between VoiceCode and Atom.

Setup

Connecting

Automatically On Startup

To automatically connect Atom to VoiceCode on startup, in your Atom user init file, add the following:

atom.commands.dispatch(atom.views.getView(atom.workspace), 'voicecode:connect')

Manually

If you want to manually connect it rather than have it auto-connect, just click the menu item: Packages > VoiceCode > Connect

Triggering Atom commands

The Atom editor has a ton of built-in commands, and each Atom package adds even more. Any of these commands can be triggered directly from VoiceCode. In VoiceCode simply do:

@runAtomCommand "trigger", {command: "tree-view:add-file"}
