Would be awesome if we could pass codes into an xstata window running in Ubuntu!

I don't have access to Stata on Linux, so I can't do any development on this. As long as Stata has a way to pass commands to the main window on Linux (similar to the AppleScript API on OS X and the Visual Basic script this package uses for Windows), it should be possible.

I've written scripts for Linux that use the Autokey automation utility to run your code in a GUI session of Stata. You should only have to change the word "Atom" to "Sublime" in two places for it to work in Sublime Text. Then a simple ctrl-r should run your selection in Stata.
