this question is to Atom users:
i wonder if this problem https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=22856&p=120610#p120610 still exists.

Thanks for this, I have always used Notepad++ but I'm starting to like this more and more.DannysNotHere wrote:I think that they should add the text editor Atom to the Notepad alternatives due to its useful and free nature.

I used Atom for around a year and loved it. However, I began to run into performance issues that I could not solve, so I switched to Sublime Text. In my opinion Sublime is infinitely better in almost every way, and runs extremely quick and smooth. And despite it having a “limited trial”, you can actually use the trial indefinitely without having to pay.CyberTheWorm wrote:Thanks for this, I have always used Notepad++ but I'm starting to like this more and more.
So I would recommend Sublime over Atom, but both are great editors.

File encoding isn't an issue anymore because Rainmeter supports Character variables which are essentially small strings which represent an symbol.~Faradey~ wrote:this question is to Atom users:

For example, if you want to use the degrees symbol (°) you can use

File encoding is still important in Rainmeter and Lua, so any good text editor needs to make it easy to deal with that.MarcoPixel wrote:File encoding isn't an issue anymore because Rainmeter supports Character variables which are essentially small strings which represent an symbol.

I think with UTF-8 as default, it won't be that big of an issue.jsmorley wrote:File encoding is still important in Rainmeter and Lua, so any good text editor needs to make it easy to deal with that.
At least they are working on auto-detection directly built into Atom and i'll hope they manage to put this feature into the next version.

I converted all my skins back to UTF-8 once CR variables became a thing. It makes the files smaller, and it plays nicer with GitHub (GitHub can’t compare code changes in UTF-16 LE files for some reason).jsmorley wrote:UTF-8 is no good for Rainmeter skins at all.
Is there some overarching reason why using UTF-8 is a bad idea?
