ex-mode package

ex-mode for Atom's vim-mode

Use

Install both vim-mode-plus (or the deprecated vim-mode) and ex-mode. Type : in command mode. Enter w or write.

Extend

Use the service to register commands, from your own package, or straight from init.coffee:

# in Atom's init.coffee
atom.packages.onDidActivatePackage (pack) ->
  if pack.name == 'ex-mode'
    Ex = pack.mainModule.provideEx()
    Ex.registerCommand 'z', -> console.log("Zzzzzz...")

You can also add aliases:

atom.packages.onDidActivatePackage (pack) ->
  if pack.name == 'ex-mode'
    Ex = pack.mainModule.provideEx()
    Ex.registerAlias 'WQ', 'wq'
    Ex.registerAlias 'Wq', 'wq'
