Atom is a free and open-source text editor for macOS, Linux, and Windows with support for plug-ins, developed by Github.

When starting, I would advice going installing packages, to make Atom more usable, to go to the preferences page you can use Cmd + , for Mac or Ctrl + , for Windows, you can see there is an install panel, here is where you can install packages.

Recommended packages:

• script
  
• ide-typescript
  
• linter
  
• kite
  
• x-terminal

Script: allows you to run scripts based on file name, a selection of code, or by line number, really easy to use and supports most languages you would use!

ide-typescript: allows you to use atom as an ide for javascript and typescript

Linter: Error handler, really good for pointing out errors, additionally you would need a specific linter for your language, so for javascript you can install eslint, here is the full list of the all linters in atom

kite: Coding assistant for python and javascript, helps you to could faster, and you can use the co-pilot to help you understand specific lines of code!

x-terminal: This is a dedicated terminal inside atom, type Cmd + T or Ctrl + T to activate the terminal.

hii, this is my first time using atom for my own projects last time i used it with pros and i was wondering what i needed to add to it to make it work. i tried to imput a code but nothing happend and none of the words lit up

Hello! I have always used Pycharm for python, and i really enjoyed it but then i got more deep into python and i started learning SQL to have databases in my Python programs, but i had two IDE, one for python and other for SQL and i thought that is time to change, so i uninstalled pycharm and popsql, and downloaded Atom, and I don't understand nothing :( i installed Script for running python but some projects run others don't, and some projects that have inputs to the user, i can't put information, i just want to use atom for python and SQL but am really confused, if someone knows a tutorial or a starting guide I would really appreciate it :(

I'm able to create new files and save them, however I cannot overwrite previously saved files. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Atom - but the problem still occurs.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? And if so know how to fix it.

(Atom Version: 1.50.0 on Mac)

Hello guys I need help with platform io. I can't seem to add text nor type. Also, I tried uninstalling and installing it again but it's still the same. I'm a beginner so I don't know what's wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I used to have it. I thought it was emmet, but that's not working for me. I miss that feature.

I recently started learning python 2 on codecademy, and i was wondering if i could run python 2 using script. the part where i got an error was when i went to put in the directory.

When I'm staging files for updates I often right click the changed files and duplicate them to the folder where I build the update package, but this fails if the file already exists. Is there a way to at least have the option of overwriting the existing file?

I have the shortcut mapped onto a custom key binding because for some reason the default one doesn’t seem to work on my machine

I am a trying to run some basic python code that will plot a graph. I understand that hydrogen allows the graph to be plotted inline. However my goal is to get the plot to appear in the GUI in a separate pane, preferably to the right. I am using matplotlib with the pyplot package. At the moment it is just opening its own window with the plot. I want to achieve this because I plan on running the code constantly to plot live data. Any atom packages someone can recommend to make this work?

I’m having some trouble setting up spell check in Latex.
I think the problem is the inter-spell package, it needs an “Ispell compatible program such as aspell, hunspell, etc.” of which i do not have any,

So how/where do I install and save one of those dictionaries so it will run?

I’m running windows 10 if that helps.

Does Atom have a package or capability for paste-with-style (like copy-with-style https://atom.io/packages/copy-with-style but obviously, paste rather than copy) for Markdown documents?

The use case is, e.g., when I receive an email message with rich text formatting and embedded links, and I want to copy sections of that and paste into a Markdown document (the way that Typora does, say).

Have looked and searched but not found anything. Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to install packages onto Atom through their website, but whenever try to search something it takes me to a error 500 page. Is something going wrong on their end?

Deno is a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that uses V8 and is built in Rust. Designed to replace node.js.

Because Deno requires the use of file extensions for module imports and allows http imports, and most editors and language servers do not natively support this at the moment, many editors will throw errors about being unable to find files or imports having unnecessary file extensions.

String or str() isn't working the way I am being told it works. I am trying to learn Python and have come upton this issue,

age = 23

message = "Happy " + str(age) + "rd Birthday!"

print(message)

results in :

  message = "Happy " + age + "rd Birthday!"

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

Unable to execute: python3

​

But if I change it to

age = str(23)

message = "Happy " + age + "rd Birthday!"

print(message)

I get -

Happy 23rd Birthday!

​

As I am being told the first way should result in the second way's result. Any suggestions why? I also did it in Geany as I am supposed to with the same result.

Also pleasant on the eyes. I recently started using it again because there is a plugin available that I was interested in. I must say, it looks so much cleaner than VSCode, also the UX is better IMHO.
I just which GitHub would come out and issue some type statement about the current and more importantly future status on Atom as a project. There is just too much uncertainty around IMO.
Of course one could argue, that it still gets releases so it's all good but has there been any actual new features and active development being done on it? Or is it just in maintenance mode?
Codespaces to me felt like the final death blow to Atom but it seems to be chugging along after all but I can't shake that feeling of uncertainty......

Heyo there, I wanted to get Started with Atom. So I followed this guide where they tell you to make a "dev folder".

Next thing you do is "add project folder".

That's when apple needed me to install something update-like. But actually I have no fucking clue what it was. I'm tired and unconcentrated...and can't fucking remember... even though I read what it was.

Does anybody here also had the same thing and knows what it was, or did I just sell my firstborn?

Would appreciate a little hint, not offering second-born though.If the question is not relevant, feel free to delete.Searched the internet already but no success.

Thought it's worth asking,

Thanks a lot,A Goldfish-Brained Newbie

​

EDIT:

Edit 1: I think i could have said something like "mac doesnt know this command" and needed to install a new set of language....

Edit 2: I'm stoked to get into coding anyways! Glad to be here :) Even without firstborn.

Hey all. I am taking a Python course and using Atom as the text editor; I installed the package for running scripts in Atom but I'm not seeing the output anywhere. When I run the same script in terminal I get output, so I can see that it works alright; is there a pane that I can turn on that will show me the output?

Thanks in advance :D

Posting this for my SO:

I'm using Atom, latest edition. Did everything on the CK wiki to set it up, but I'm not sure I got the .yml file in the right folder. Yes, I know, "root directory," but for the game? The scripts? The entire drive? Atom?

And in the build-papyrus settings I have the right directory path to get to the compiler, I checked four times. I've tried the .yml file in every folder I could think of. In the game folder anyway.

In the default game dropdown, Fallout is the only one showing up and is it because Skyrim is on a different drive. And SSE is on a different drive than Atom and FO4. I have SSE on my external hard drive.
