shell-it package

A simple Atom package to replace text in the editor by passing it through a shell command. It is in the vein of %! in VIM or shell-command-on-region in Emacs.

Usage

• If you want input, you first have to select or copy text. If you don't need input, the cursor merely needs to be placed inside a TextEditor.
• Execute shell-it:open (default keybinding is shift-ctrl-alt-S).
• Type in a shell command (such as sort).
• Select which input and output streams you want.
• Hit enter.
• The command will be executed in an OS shell and the results will be inserted into the clipboard and/or selection.

Stdin and Stdout

• The left checkboxes specify stdin from the selected text and/or the clipboard. If both are checked the clipboard and selection are concatenated for the input.

• The right checkboxes specify where stdout is sent. If both are checked then the output goes to both the clipboard and the selection.

• The working directory is set to the project containing the current editor

Changelog

• 0.4.0 - Rewrote the entire view as an etch component and added a limited history function.
