hotkey to enable/disable package

[morenoh149]

I work with colleagues that do not always know vim. There should be a hotkey to turn this mode on and off.

This is something you can add yourself:

init.coffee

atom.commands.add 'atom-workspace', 'vim-mode:toggle-enabled', ->
  disabledPackages = atom.config.get('core.disabledPackages')
  disabledPackageIndex = disabledPackages.indexOf('vim-mode')
  if disabledPackageIndex is -1
    disabledPackages.push('vim-mode')
  else
    disabledPackages.splice(disabledPackageIndex, 1)
  atom.config.set('core.disabledPackages', disabledPackages)

'atom-workspace':
  'ctrl-alt-v': 'vim-mode:toggle-enabled'

Hi @morenoh149 and @maxbrunsfeld, I added those two snippets to the respective files and restarted atom but it doesn't seem to work. 'ctrl-alt-v' does nothing. I also tried a different key combination 'ctrl-shift-F12' and that didn't work either. I'm new to atom, any ideas what I'm missing or how to debug it?
Thanks

no clue. I tried to be as clear as possible.

No worries, I got the following to work fine.

# init.coffee

atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor',
  'user:toggle-vim-mode': (event) ->
    if atom.packages.isPackageDisabled("vim-mode")
      atom.packages.enablePackage("vim-mode")
    else
      atom.packages.disablePackage("vim-mode")


# keymap.cson

'atom-workspace':
  'ctrl-shift-f12': 'user:toggle-vim-mode'

for those who wind up here and now use vim-mode-plus, use the following (credit to elrob, chibicode):

# init.coffee

atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor',
  'user:toggle-vim-mode-plus': (event) ->
    if atom.packages.isPackageDisabled("vim-mode-plus")
      atom.packages.enablePackage("vim-mode-plus")
    else
      atom.packages.disablePackage("vim-mode-plus")


# keymap.cson

'atom-workspace':
  'ctrl-shift-f12': 'user:toggle-vim-mode-plus'

(hint: init.coffee exists in your ~/.atom/)
