Overview of contributing services to the Orion editor

The built Orion editor defines a number of services for customizing its appearance and behavior. These services will typically be defined by a plug-in providing editing functionality for different programming languages or file extensions. This section will outline the services that are available for editor customization.

orion.edit.command

The orion.edit.command service is the simplest kind of editor extension. A command service simply provides a function that takes some text as input, performs some operation or transformation on the text, and returns a new text value. The command can also optionally receive and return selection information for changing the editor selection.
