- Hey guys, I love using ATOM on my mac. Its a cross-platform compatble text-editor/coding application that lets your code, write in markup and (what I use it most for) write up textfiles. I use it on my mac and was wondering if there is something like it on the iPad.
- Atom is multiplatform (Windows, Linux, and Mac) and allows cross-platform use for your projects. Customization is the IDE's biggest appeal: At time of writing, there are more than 2,000 packages and 600 themes.
- Here is how to install the Atom editor on a Mac computer. The instructions also work for Linux.
This one’s a highly customizable text editor that’s free. It’s packed full of useful features, and you can add a lot more thanks to the open-source packages. The software is marketed as a “hackable” text editor because you can customize it and add your own tweaks by editing the CSS in its back end. How do I create array of objects of alternating color? How to set or change the default Java (JDK) version on OS X? Brackets is another very popular plain text editor for macOS 10.15. This is the simplest method of setting Notepad as the default editor. I am using Atom 1.0.0 and i was trying to set atom as default text editor for css and js files.
