Ben Gotow df38008c56 fix(*): Small fixes from Lake Tahoe. See Summary.
Summary:
This diff includes a few small things:

- Menu: Don't select the first item until the user taps down arrow, and allow the user to use the arrow keys to move up and down through Menu items.

- Menu: Make scroll code from MultiselectList re-usable, use in Menu. Now if you use the keys to move to an item that is offscreen it will follow.

- Popover: Tapping the button that opened popover should close it

- Make sure buttons in toolbars are at least standard height

- Re-enable Markdown processing via `grunt docs`

- A bit of initial inline documentation for crosjdoc. Need to evaluate whether this is worth doing everywhere.

- New `search-playground` package for experimenting with search and search weights.

- Swap itemClassProvider for more generic itemPropProvider

- Add crojsdoc config file

- Export React, because third party packages can't require things from our app

- [FEATURE] Bring back static file support in third party packages via `nylas://translate/IMG_20150417_124142.jpg`

- Fix invariant error with search bar

- [FEATURE] "Show Original" under Message actions

- Fix DatabaseView so that many archives at once don't cause problems

Test Plan: Run specs

Converting a TextMate Bundle

This guide will show you how to convert a TextMate bundle to an Atom package.

Converting a TextMate bundle will allow you to use its editor preferences, snippets, and colorization inside Atom.

Install apm

The apm command line utility that ships with Atom supports converting a TextMate bundle to an Atom package.

Check that you have apm installed by running the following command in your terminal:

apm help init

You should see a message print out with details about the apm init command.

If you do not, launch Atom and run the Atom > Install Shell Commands menu to install the apm and atom commands.

Convert the Package

Let's convert the TextMate bundle for the R programming language. You can find other existing TextMate bundles here.

You can convert the R bundle with the following command:

apm init --package ~/.atom/packages/language-r --convert https://github.com/textmate/r.tmbundle

You can now browse to ~/.atom/packages/language-r to see the converted bundle.

🎉 Your new package is now ready to use, launch Atom and open a .r file in the editor to see it in action!
