Working with Extempore in Atom

See Ben Swift's guide for a cheat sheet for using Atom with Extempore.

The plugin provides three commands:

• Connect [alt-o] will connect to a running Extempore process at the host and port specified in the input box. You have to start the Extempore process yourself (see Extempore docs for how to do this).

• Disconnect [alt-O or alt-x] will disconnect from the connected Extempore process.

• Evaluate [alt-s] will evaluate either the currently highlighted region (if applicable) or the current top-level expression surrounding the cursor. This is how you send code to the Extempore process for evaluation.

You can trigger the commands either through the menu (Packages > Extempore), the command palette (ctrl+shift+P) or through the shortcut keys (listed above).
