Action chaining?

[nicpaimnt]

Is it possible to do action chaining?

my use case is simple... when I save with Cmd-S I also would like to run gofmt.

I could bind Cmd-S to a [Run] build which would save the file as well as run gofmt. I'm not aware of a command to 'save' though.

A cleaner way would be allow sequencing actions, so Cmd-S saves and then runs an action.

Thanks!

We're considering it, but we'd like to collect enough real use cases first. What you've described is one, but it could be achieved by adding a dedicated feature without having to implement generic chaining.

Understandably. But because of the nature of the compiler being unaccessible, it's impossible for me to do it.

There are plenty of reason why chaining of action is a good idea though, such as formatting above.

You might also want to build after save, or kick off a linter, or automatically check that the file contains a company header by running a script, etc.

Not saying you need to implement it, it's what we're considering implementing instead of more generic chaining if it's the only real use case that people have. All of what you've said is "do an action on save", which would be a simpler feature
