invoking remote edit from another package?

[mark-hahn]

I have a command-toolbar package that I use like favorites in a browser. It stores atom commands, links to files, and web pages. I'd like to extend the stored links to remote files using this package. How hard would it be to ...

• Ask for the remote info for the focused file for me to save?
• Ask remote edit to bring up that file later with that info?

When editing remote files a RemoteEditEditor is used instead of the default TextEditor. This class has two variables which can be used to accomplish what you want: localFile and host.

The easiest way to save the info for the focused file would be to use these to variables to generate and store a string that could later be used to open said file. Look at open-files-view.coffee on line 59. You can open the generated URI using atom.workspace.open.

Hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Sounds great. I was very surprised to see that remote pages reload when atom reloads. Nice package.
