You will need to look in the theme’s readme or github/package page in order to get the correct names. To add to your grief, you have absolutely no idea what the specific theme’s names are and Sublime doesn’t suggest any way of finding out! Why do they expect you to know this? Do they presume you are some sort of wizard?
Atom web editor update#
Honestly, what a faff! There are 2 options that you need to update if you want to change the entire interface. I don’t want to look in a readme for all the available options: I just want dropdowns, checkboxes and stuff to click to quickly figure out if I want to keep setting or a theme. I think this area really needs to benefit from some sort of GUI. What if you don’t know all the correct values for an option? You have to look in the readme that comes with the package or open the “default” settings file to reference that… How ridiculously unhelpful. What if you want to change those settings for a new cool plugin or theme that you have just installed? You have to edit a json file… But what if you want to disable something in particular or uninstall it quick to see if it’s behaving how you expect? Changing Plugin Settings – what are the options I can change again?
Atom web editor install#
Yes it’s great, and, easy to install stuff. One example of this is the package manager “Package Control”. What I find very unhelpful is that when you are referring to the “user” file, you have no idea what settings exist or their values! Package Control You get 2 settings files: 1 of them is the “default” settings version, the other is the “user” settings (which you can use to overwrite the default settings). I still use it from time to time and I’ll explain why later on. I did use it for a long time – there is still a place for it in my heart, but in my opinion a few core things could be done a lot better. I think it’s important to go over the reasons I left Sublime. Sublime still handles either scenario very well. When opening files with less ridiculously filesizes, Atom does still behave quite laggy. If you proceed this will probably turn into an error… Unfortunately, Atom doesn’t handle them very well, as an example, when trying to open a 100MB SQL file I am presented with a warning. Sometimes, everyone needs to look in large files, SQL script or log files for example.
Atom web editor code#
It used to be the case that Atom did not show anything they have since added settings to deal this, but currently is not very obvious in the code area. The result is that Atom brought through non-standard characters (such as control characters used to indicate new lines). There are still a couple of scenarios where I don’t think Atom is currently suitable: Non-standard CharactersĪ couple of times, I have experienced some weird issues where I have copied and pasted some content from a website, Adobe Photoshop or a Word document (as we all have). It also allows you to search for all the existing Atom packages & themes. Whether popular or trending, Atom lets you browse some of the featured packages and themes. They could do a better job of telling you! Whilst I find this area much more helpful than Sublime’s approach, some of these settings may disappear depending on what theme you have selected. You can also get a path to the current file within the project.
You can then use your up/down arrows – a big improvement over Sublime. One improvement over Sublime Text is that the language selection utilises a “suggest as you type” search feature, which is a lot nicer in terms of user experience. You can of course click the charset, or, the language to change them. Despite all this information being within a small area, it’s not cluttered – and, crucially, it all makes sense! It’s only a small thing, but a nicety nonetheless. In the bottom right of the window, Atom can show you the current charset, current language (syntax highlighting), the git branch you are working on, how many commits you are behind, and how many changes you’ve made to the file.
