Enable features in unsaved editors with Elm syntax

[canadaduane]

When I'm working inside a project with other elm files (presumably an elm-package.json file is required), the following steps will freeze the Atom Editor:

1. Create a new file (cmd-N)
2. Without saving to disk, choose Elm as the syntax (lower-right corner, click "Plain Text", choose "Elm" in subsequent drop-down list)
3. Type something that can be Auto imported, e.g. "update"
4. Choose "Auto import" from the menu

The Atom window for the file will freeze.

Hi @canadaduane! For simplicity's sake, it's not supposed to show suggestions for non-Elm files :grinning: I'll add some checks in the next release.

Do you have a use case where you really need to set the syntax of the editor to "Elm" and not save to a file?

I was trying to write a syntax-highlighted example of some Elm for someone on the mailing list, with the intention of copy-pasting to the mailing list.

Hi! The code will still get syntax-highlighted because of the language-elm Atom package. Elmjutsu features will only work on .elm files though :-)

It's still very nice to have elmjutsu fill things in when developing "throw-away" code like this

Hi! I still have to think about the implications of adding this. I'll put this on low priority for now :smile: You can create temporary .elm files in the meantime.
