Multiple commands for one keystroke

[xlaywan]

Separated by comma:

'up': 'autocomplete-plus:cancel, core:move-up'
'down': 'autocomplete-plus:cancel, core:move-down'

You can create a composed command using this technique from the documentation:

https://atom.io/docs/latest/behind-atom-keymaps-in-depth#composed-commands

Thank you!

It sounds like this took care of your issue. If you have any more questions, please let us know! In the meantime, I'm going to close this 😀

Since atom docs has changed, url to composed commands has changed too.
New url is http://flight-manual.atom.io/behind-atom/sections/keymaps-in-depth/#composed-commands

Having created a couple of custom commands myself, I think it would be great if users weren't required to understand the implementation details of each command they want to compose. Some sort of simple composition syntax like the one in the OP would be great.

Not sure what would be involved in implementing this, is it very complex with the way the keymap system is designed?

I see in composed commands it shows an example of creating a custom shortcut. I am trying to do that, but how I do specify the editor commands now? I want to do:
hey-pane:toggle-focus-of-active-pane and Tree View: Toggle ?

This issue has bugged me. I finally wrote a couple little helpers into my init script to make creating and registering compound commands easy.

function addEditorCommand(nam,fnc) {
    atom.commands.add("atom-text-editor", "custom:"+nam,(evt) => {
        if(!atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor()) { return; }
        fnc(evt);
        });
    }

function multicmd(...cmds) {
    return (evt) => {
        cmds.forEach((cmd) => { atom.commands.dispatch(evt.target,cmd); });
        };
    }

addEditorCommand("multi-cursor-mark-and-move-down"   , multicmd("multi-cursor-plus:mark", "multi-cursor-plus:move-down"));
addEditorCommand("multi-cursor-mark-and-move-to-eol" , multicmd("multi-cursor-plus:mark", "multi-cursor-plus:move-to-end-of-line"));
addEditorCommand("multi-cursor-mark-and-move-to-sol" , multicmd("multi-cursor-plus:mark", "multi-cursor-plus:move-to-first-character-of-line"));
addEditorCommand("multi-cursor-mark-and-move-left"   , multicmd("multi-cursor-plus:mark", "multi-cursor-plus:move-left"));
addEditorCommand("multi-cursor-mark-and-move-right"  , multicmd("multi-cursor-plus:mark", "multi-cursor-plus:move-right"));
addEditorCommand("multi-cursor-mark-and-move-up"     , multicmd("multi-cursor-plus:mark", "multi-cursor-plus:move-up"));

let normalizeWhitespace = multicmd("whitespace:convert-all-tabs-to-spaces", "whitespace:remove-trailing-whitespace", "line-ending-selector:convert-to-LF", "core:save");
addEditorCommand("normalize-whitespace",normalizeWhitespace);
atom.workspace.onDidAddTextEditor=(evt) => {
    normalizeWhitespace(evt);
    }

addEditorCommand("scroll-up"        , multicmd("ctrl-dir-scroll:scroll-up","core:move-up"));
addEditorCommand("scroll-down"      , multicmd("ctrl-dir-scroll:scroll-down","core:move-down"));
addEditorCommand("scroll-jump-up"   , (evt) => {
    for(xa=0; xa<50; xa++) { atom.commands.dispatch(evt.target,"custom:scroll-up"); }
    });
addEditorCommand("scroll-jump-down" , (evt) => {
    for(xa=0; xa<50; xa++) { atom.commands.dispatch(evt.target,"custom:scroll-down"); }
    });

@lawrence-dol Somewhat random, but any clue why MultiCD wouldn't work in coffeescript form?

Update: Numpti self didn't switch the splat from the front to the back (supported but switched spots in coffeescript).

[cornelius-dol]

@matt81093 : No idea at all. Sorry.

[Cranbaerry]

This is no longer working, I can't run 2 actions seperated by comma.
'.platform-win32 atom-workspace, .platform-linux atom-workspace': 'ctrl-1': 'core:save,platformio-ide-terminal:insert-custom-text-1'

    });

tried to convert this to coffescript, no luck

    atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor',
      'custom:ctrl-1': (evt) ->
          #editor = @getModel()
          #editor.insertText(new Date().toLocaleString())
          if (!atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor())
              return
          fnc(evt)

multicmd = (cmds...) ->
    return (evt) -> cmds.forEach((cmd) -> atom.commands.dispatch(evt.target, cmd))

addEditorCommand("ctrl-1", multicmd("core:save"))```
