Globals

Atom exposes several services through singleton objects accessible via the atom global:

atom
- workspace: Manipulate and query the state of the user interface for the current window. Open editors, manipulate panes.
- workspaceView: Similar to workspace, but provides access to the root of all views in the current window.
- project: Access the directory associated with the current window. Load editors, perform project-wide searches, register custom openers for special file types.
- config: Read, write, and observe user configuration settings.
- keymap: Add and query the currently active keybindings.
- deserializers: Deserialize instances from their state objects and register deserializers.
- packages: Activate, deactivate, and query user packages.
- themes: Activate, deactivate, and query user themes.
- contextMenu: Register context menus.
- menu: Register application menus.
- pasteboard: Read from and write to the system pasteboard.
- syntax: Assign and query syntactically-scoped properties.
