Atom settings for stunning editing effects

In the Code Editor, the Text editor field, there are many "artifact"-level products, such as the history of VIM, Emacs, and now the hottest sublimetext. In addition there are editplus, notepad++, UltraEdit, and so a lot of popular weapon, is the schools of contention.

However, as the most influential code warehouse/open Source community in the world today, GitHub's handlers are not satisfied with this. They re-created a code editor called "21st Century", using the most advanced technology available today-Atom, which is open source for free cross-platform, integrates Git and provides sublimetext-like package management capabilities, supports plug-in extensions, and is highly configurable ...

The Atom code Editor supports Windows, Macs, and Linux on three desktop platforms, completely free, and has all the source code open on GitHub. After a long period of iterative development and continuous improvement, Atom finally reached the 1.0 official version from the early beta version! There has been a significant improvement in performance and stability compared to previous versions.

The development team called Atom a "configurable editor for the 21st Century", with a very delicate interface and a rich configuration, plus it provides a similar package control (packet management) feature to Sublimetext. People can easily install and manage a variety of plugins and make Atom a really good development tool for them.

The editing effect is really cool.

In addition, Atom also supports several important functions of sublimetext, such as goto anything, goto Symbol, goto Line, command panel and so on, even the shortcut keys are identical! Believe that ST's users will be more easily transition to Atom. In fact, from a functional point of view, the current Atom editor is basically a Sublime, but the technology is implemented in different ways, plug-in technology also varies.

Work perfectly with GIT

The Atom editor can be combined with GIT, and all changes to the code and text can be reflected in the editor's interface. For example, the newly written code in the file will be marked green on the left, the deleted mark is red, the modified mark is yellow. The directory navigation on the left also makes it easy to see the file changes: The file name and folder name of the changed files are marked as highlighted. The bottom of the editor shows the current branch and the number of modified row counts for the file, which is handy for GIT users.

Building on WEB Technology

Like the Microsoft Visual Studio Code Editor, which was introduced earlier, Atom is also based on web technology (chromium+node.js), and the editor itself is actually a local Web page, which is enough to excite countless web engineers! Users can use JavaScript to write editor plug-ins, using CSS to change the theme interface to any style you like, which makes writing plugins, themes, two times the threshold of development has been reduced a lot. It also explains that Atom's package and subject numbers have grown rapidly since Atom was released to the present time.
