If you are still on Atom, try to see if other cross platform open source editors suit your needs.
Myself, I have moved to Visual Studio Code quite some time ago as, though based on Electron – the core of Atom, it is way faster and much better supported than Atom.
The official announcement is at [Wayback/Archive] Sunsetting Atom | The GitHub Blog.
Various sites reported it in different phrasings:

Adapted from [Archive.is] How can you export the Visual Studio Code extension list? – Stack Overflow, presuming that code is on the PATH:
git installed:code --list-extensions | xargs -L 1 echo code --install-extension
git installed:code --list-extensions | % { "code --install-extension $_" }
or, as I think, more clearly (see also [WayBack] syntax – What does “%” (percent) do in PowerShell? – Stack Overflow):
code --list-extensions | foreach { "code --install-extension $_" }
or even more explanatory:
code --list-extensions | ForEach-Object { "code --install-extension $_" }
cmd.exe command:@for /f %l in ('code --list-extensions') do @echo code --install-extension %l
cmd.exe batch file (in a .bat/.cmd script):@for /f %%l in ('code --list-extensions') do @echo code --install-extension %%l
PowerShell -Command "code --list-extensions | % { """""code --install-extension $_""""" }"
Note that here too, the % can be expanded into foreach or ForEach-Object for clarity.
All of the above prepend “code --install-extension ” (note the trailing space) before each installed Visual Studio Code extension.
They all give you a list like this which you can execute on any machine having Visual Studio Code installed and its code on the PATH, and a working internet connection:
code --install-extension DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint code --install-extension ms-vscode.powershell code --install-extension yzhang.markdown-all-in-onex
(This is about the minimum install for me to edit markdown documents and do useful things with PowerShell).
Of course you can pipe these to a text-file script to execute them later on.
The double-quote escaping is based on [Wayback/Archive.is] How to escape PowerShell double quotes from a .bat file – Stack Overflow:
you need to escape the
"on the command line, inside a double quoted string. From my testing, the only thing that seems to work is quadruple double quotes""""inside the quoted parameter:powershell.exe -command "echo '""""X""""'"

In Visual Studio Code: blazingly fast text expansion with Emmet I wrote:
One of my behaviours I wanted to get rid of is heavily use of keyboard macros, so when doing more web-stuff, I bumped into Emmet (that in the past was called Zen Code).
That didn’t fully cut it, not even in combination with regular expression based search/replace, so I finally to some time to look at some links that might help me out with keyboard macros.
The links for my archive, most via [Wayback/Archive] vscode macro recorder – Google Search:
Great for live coding presentations, impressing your friends, or just trying to look busy at work.HackerTyper allows you to record yourself programming, and to replay the same keystrokes by wildly mashing any key. Supports typing, editing, selections (including multicursor) and autocompletions. Basically, it looks like you have programming superpowers.Features
- Record and replay macros.
- Insert stop points, so you don’t accidentally overrun your talking point while live coding.
Hacker Typer allows you to record your keystrokes in VSCode, and to play them back either automatically or by typing random keys. Supports typing, editing, selections (including multicursor) and autocompletions.This version is a fork of Jani Eväkallio’s original extension.Features
- Record and play macros.
- Insert stop points, so you don’t accidentally overrun your talking points while “live coding.”
- Play macros back either automatically or by typing randomly.
It lets you write a quick sequence of commands/scripts to automate VS Code tasks. Example sub-actions are; running command line commands, opening a debugging session, pushing git changes, renaming many files, creating smart snippets, formatting the current file and more.What are some use-case examples?
- A run command that opens up a terminal, starts an SSH connection, and then runs commands on the SSH server
- A new-project command that goes to where ever you typically save projects, uses the GUI to ask for the name of the project, creates the folder, creates a .gitignore with your preferences, runs an init command, and then opens the folder in your current VS Code window.
- A command that opens a project folder, pulls the latest changes, opens several files in that folder, and then displays the recent changes in those files.
- A folder-specific start command, that pulls the latest changes, installs dependiences, formats files, and then opens the debugger with a specific file.
Brings simple, powerful custom macros support to VS Code. Made with <3 by geddskiSee also Level up your Coding with MacrosCreate Custom Macros
Create your own custom macros by adding them to yoursettings.json(Code|File > Preferences > User Settings)For example:"macros": { "commentDown": [ "editor.action.copyLinesDownAction", "cursorUp", "editor.action.addCommentLine", "cursorDown" ] }This macro creates a copy of the current line, comments out the original line, and moves the cursor down to the copy.…
This extension can create command sequence as one command and bind a key, or call it manually.Features
- create command sequence as one command and bind a key.
- call command sequence manually.
- set interval between each command execution.

From a while back: [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: ‘Answering Yes to “You have an older version of PackageManagement known to cause issues with the PowerShell extension. Would you like to update PackageManagement (You will need to restart the PowerShell extension after)?” hung my Visual Studio Code.… ‘
After clicking “Yes”, the the only thing visible was this notification that had an ever running “progress bar”:
Notifications – Powershell – Source: Powershell (Extension)
The first part of the solution was relatively simple: restart Visual Studio code, then the original notification showed, and after clicking “Yes”, the “Panel” (you can toggle it with Ctrl+J) showed the “Terminal” output (yes, I was working on [Wayback/Archive.is] PowerShell script for sending Wake-on-LAN magic packets to given machine hardware MAC address, more about that later):

A few links for my link archive, as I often edit XML files (usually with different extensions than .xml, because historic choices that software development vendors make, which makes it way harder to tell editors “yes, this too is XML).
This plugin is a small set of useful tools for editing XML with Notepad++. The plugin is libXML2-based. The plugin features are:
– XML syntax Check
– XML Schema (XSD) + DTD Validation
– XML tag autoclose
– Pretty print
– Linarize XML
– Current XML Path
– Conversion XML &lt;-&gt; Text
– Comment / Uncomment
– XPath expression evaluation

choco install --yes choco-cleaner
Basic install:
choco install --yes 7zip choco install --yes everything choco install --yes notepadplusplus choco install --yes beyondcompare choco install --yes git.install --params "/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath /NoGitLfs /SChannel /NoAutoCrlf /WindowsTerminal" choco install --yes hg choco install --yes sourcetree choco install --yes sysinternals
For VMs (pic one):
choco install --yes vmware-tools choco install --yes virtio-drivers
For browsing (not sure yet about Chrome as that one has a non-admin installer as well):

For file transfer (though be aware that some versions of Filezilla contained adware):
choco install --yes filezilla choco install --yes winscp
For coding:
choco install --yes vscode choco install --yes atom

Sometimes you are in search of a real TAB character, as most editors (except a few like the ones for Golang) I bump into are space-based. A great answer at [WayBack] visual studio code – VSCode insert tab character manually – Stack Overflow:
Quick-and-dirty solution: Find a tab somewhere else, then copy-paste.
Chances are that you already have a tab character in the file you are editing, but if not you can generate one in another application or text editor.
You can also generate a tab programmatically in a bash shell with the following command (the brackets are optional):
echo -e [\\t]For your more immediate needs, I have inserted a tab character below…
There is a tab character between these brackets: [ ]

This and built-in markdown support made the switch to Visual Studio code from Atom.io so much easier: [WayBack] PlantUML – Visual Studio Marketplace.
Atom.io was already on my list of tools to say good bye to: though a good project to show the versatility of the Electron Framework, over time – like Google Chrome – it had become a memory and CPU hog and a drag to use and update.
Integrating debuggers and other parts of the development life cycle involved too much fuzz, for which Visual Studio code (also known as vscode) was much easier from the start.
Probably Visual Studio code did not suffer from what the Dutch call Law of the handicap of a head start: it is much more responsive and versatile than Atom.io. Also the plugins – despite having come to the market later – feel way more mature in Visual Studio code than Atom.io.
Finally, the PlantUML support extension for vscode is so much nicer than in Atom.io, it for instance supports live updating and in addition to local rendering, rendering through a PlantUML server (see [WayBack] GitHub – plantuml/plantuml-server: PlantUML Online Server).
Source code is at [WayBack] GitHub – qjebbs/vscode-plantuml: Rich PlantUML support for Visual Studio Code.

At the time of looking, FiraCode would not work in Delphi but would in Visual Studio. Reminder for me to look at it again: [WayBack] GitHub – tonsky/FiraCode: Monospaced font with programming ligatures.
A cool feature of the font is that it has ligatures for common multi-character combinations like := or ...
Back when scheduling this, I was still at Lucida Console because of its large x-height and small line spacing.
It is time to revisit my font choice, so lets include at least these candidates:
