Support enabling / disabling packages from command palette

Open mnquintana opened this issue 10 years ago • 8 comments

Inspired by AtomLinter/linter#496

Currently there is no way to enable / disable any package from the command palette, which can lead to some clunky workflows and packages adding enablement commands when they shouldn't have to.

(Sublime's Package Control also allows for this behavior from the command palette.)

+1 I would love this feature

This can already be done using toggle-packages, but only for the packages you list in its settings.

It creates a button in the status bar and exports a command, e.g. toggle-packages:toggle-tabs.

It's a very useful package, but having this in Atom's core would be better. Also, you have to list every package you want to be able to toggle, which means that the status bar fills quite quickly if you list all of your installed packages. And it only creates a "toggle" command, not separate enable/disable commands (if that's what you want; toggle works for me).

Edit Oh, and +1.

Any progress on this?

Gentle ping. This would help us avoiding atom to be bloated as every plugin for every language is enabled all the time right now.

+1 - Would like to be able to toggle showing tabs/status bar. Currently have to go to packages and disable/enable manually.

-1 - I've installed 'hidpi' package and set some wrong settings...! Now everything is scaled too much and I can't even see the settings page to disable or change the settings of 'hidpi' package. I wanted to change the package settings through 'safe mode', but unfortunately, there was another set of package settings there...! (Like a new profile with no packages installed)

This is a very good idea to have an option to enable/disable and install/uninstall packages through CLI.

I've recently found a way for this problem ...

The answer is using the 'apm' CLI
