Trying Atom

Just got back from Dornbirn and the paper is sent off for review. So I got some time at hand and can checkout atom again. My workhorse was vim - and although I generally feel empowered using it in larger projects I would prefer a more user-friendly organization.

So back it was - turns out I had still some preferences for atom in my home directory.
The list of installed packages would load forever - so I decided to dump everything.

As starter I set up an environment for latex. As I was working on some files I still remember the problems and got thngs installed. I ended up needing atom-latex, language-latex, linter-chktex and linter-spell-latex. Also had to install hunspell in homebrew. Now the files would show up reasonable, and even give useful linting suggestions. Though I miss the grammar suggestions from writegood and redpen.

The thing I miss most in editing is manipulating text objects. And I see nothing equivalent. Navigating with keyboard thing is more clunky as I need to move over to the arrows. Ah well I have now a pdf preview inline.
