Tip: bottom-dock package #6

Open Gert-dev opened 7 years ago

Gert-dev commented 7 years ago

Hello

I've been dropping by in a couple of Atom packages to let developers know about the bottom-dock atom package. You may have already heard about it; it offers a service that allows you to put a customized view in a panel that is docked at the bottom of the atom window.

I wanted to post this here since I noticed you're looking into placing persistent output in a bottom pane and wanted to let you know in case you were looking to reduce the code you have to maintain for the dock itself :-). The advantage is that other packages supplying a dock will allow a user to switch between the docks using tabs as well as resize the pane. Inside it, you can add whatever controls you wish (e.g. show a list of recognized test names to allow filtering, buttons to run the suite, ...).

Feel free to close this issue after you've read it and thanks for your package!

Thanks for the tip! That looks like it could be a much better user experience than the current solution! I'll take a look at that when I get a chance =]
