Hide commands from command-palette #943

Closed t9md closed 6 years ago

t9md commented 6 years ago

Summary

Hide vmp commands from command-palette to improve responsiveness of command-palette.

Basic

See this example.

1st command is hidden from command-palette(this capability is added in https://github.com/atom/command-palette/pull/92).
2nd command is shown in command-palette.

atom.commands.add("atom-workspace", {
  "this-command-is-hidden": {
    hiddenInCommandPalette: true,
    didDispatch() {
      console.log("hidden")
    },
  },
  "this-command-is-displayed": {
    didDispatch() {
      console.log("displayed")
    },
  },
})
console.log("loaded")

Most vmp commands are invoked via keymaps. So should be hidden from command-palette. Why?

I believe can reduce user's confusion(less noise is basically better).
Improve responsiveness of command-palette.

HOW?

Introduce operation class's static prop hiddenCommand( default true).
Use hiddenCommand when registering operation class as atom commands.
Currently all commands are hidden.
Override to true for command which should be shown in palette.
- Maybe it's useful especially while initial active dev of new operation class.
