This question is completely off topic, but I'm hoping someone might have an answer as google searches have been fruitless for me. Why doesn't Atom support :w to save when in vim-mode? Is there any way to toggle this on? I can't remove 10 years of muscle memory and start using [cmd]s. I've been looking at alternatives to macvim and this is so far the most promising for me, but I may need to wait for full neovim integration to get me to completely switch.

Shameless plug, as I scratched that itch: https://atom.io/packages/ex-mode https://atom.io/packages/ex-mode Does much more than `:w` now, but contributions are very welcome.

  This is exactly what I was hoping/looking for, thanks!

I just mapped ":" to the command palette then added a few commands to my init... atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor', 'w', -> atom.commands.dispatch(this, 'core:save') Repeat for wq, q! etc ...then it works as expected thanks to the shortest commands showing up first in the palette.
