Whenever I make changes in the setting panel of Atom, it doesn't get saved. Everytime I close and re-open Atom, the changes are lost. This happens for the core settings, packages settings, everything.
edit : I'm running OSX 10.12(Sierra) with the latest version of Atom.
Anyone has a tip to prevent that ?
Thanks

I am use to holding down Ctrl / Command to edit multiple lines at once in an Atom document, but this suddenly stopped working. I am wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or something that I may have accidentally pressed that toggles this feature on / off.
I am on Mac OS 10.15.5 and have noticed other weird behavior editing text in all programs so that might be related but I have no idea how to resolve the issue. Any ideas are appreciated, thank you!
Edit: The "Multi Cursor On Click" option under Editor Settings is enabled.
Open Atom and type Ctrl+Shift+I (or Alt+Cmd+I on a Mac) to open the dev tools. Go to the console and enter in the following code in it & hit enter to run it:
atom.config.set('core.editor.multiCursorOnClick', true)
This will fix the problem and when you re-open Atom (even after a restart) it will fix the problem.
Ok found an answer on the Atom Discuss if anyone else is suffering this annoying issue! Seems to be related to a recent update to the application.
In your config file add this right below your core:
editor:
multiCursorOnClick: true
So your result will look like this:
core:
editor:
multiCursorOnClick: true
If there is no core existent you can include the core: portion as well but it may already be there depending on your add-ons.
Here is the link to the discuss topic about the issue:
https://discuss.atom.io/t/ctrl-left-click-multi-cursor-not-working/75553
And here is the direct link to post that explains the solution I followed from that topic: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/20911#issuecomment-642581072
The config file is editable on Mac by clicking Atom in the top toolbar, then there is an option called "Config", not sure how to get to it in Windows but should be in a similar location.
I have one single project folder that I work on every time. I would like that when I start Atom that the project folder is shown and no tabs are open.
I am using Ubutnu 14.04 LTS and Atom 1.5.3.
At the moment, every time I close and reopen Atom, the last session is shown. This is good, because my project folder is always loaded correctly. Unfortunately, all tabs are also open from my previous session.
I have checked under Core Settings -> Open Emty Editor On Start (Automatically open an empty editor on startup). But still, the editor is not empty on startup. Am I missing anything? How can I get this problem solved?
I would like to retrieve the welcome screen (and only it) when I start Atom. That way, I'll be able to choose the project I want to work on each time I start Atom (currently, I have to close the project opened the last time).
I already re-enabled the Welcome package in the init.coffee file so I see the welcome screen each time I start Atom, but there are two problems.
First: this screen is now shown every time I open a new window, so every time I open another project than the current one (I use Projects Manager if it matters). It's not very useful, as I only want to see this screen when I start Atom.
Second: I see the welcome screen on start, but only as new tabs in the last opened project, so the problem remains the same.
Has someone a solution?
The setting you are looking for is Settings > Open Empty Editor On Start, which is on the Core Settings page, right under Ignored Names. Make sure to enable this setting, i.e. check the box. Whenever you start Atom from its icon now, it will start with an empty editor, and will not reopen your previously used files.
I came across this problem, too.
But I found that if I had 'openEmptyEditorOnStart: true' in the config.cson file, and each time I quit the Atom I did "Remove Project Folder" in the "Tree View", next time I opened the Atom edit, I can open it without the last opened project.
Hope it helps. :)
Proper configuration to get empty editor on every start:
✔️ Open Empty Editor On Start
✖️ Restore Previous Windows On Start
Just go to File > Reopen Project > Clear Project History. It worked for me.
I just switched of package tree view
Setting/packages tree-view - disable
And when open Atom it is free of project tree
You need to do both in Core settings:
check Open Empty Editor On Start
set Restore Previous Windows On Start to no
I'm trying to install subclipse 1.6.x onto Aptana Studio 3 (build 3.0.7.201112151935). It isn't working cause once I've clicked that I accept the licence agreements the finish button doesn't light up.
I've tried rolling back the configuration history, closing and reopening and installing 1.8.x. 1.8.x worked once, but isn't compatible with my SVN repo so that's no use.
Any guesses/solutions?
Thanks in advance

There is a bug in Eclipse where the Finish button does not show up. It was fixed, but maybe Aptana is not using the latest version. I seem to recall you could click Back and then Next and the button would enable.
Here are some Eclipse bugs on this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=136907
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149300
For me I found that there were sub-packages which couldn't be installed.
Bad Components:
Mylyn
Revision graph
These were identified as bad on the sub-components selection screen, however, when this is done, and the licenses are accepted, the "Finish" button does not get highlighted.
I Found that if you remove this bad components on the initial "Available Software" screen (and not on the sub-componets selection screen) and continue, that you the "Finish" button gets highlighted and you can proceed with installation.
I've just downloaded Aptana to do some web-development. I've downloaded the JsTestDriver plugin (javascript testing framework) which works fantastic, however there is one thing bugging me... In my run configuration of JsTestDriver i set it to run everytime i save my project. The funny thing is that the my run configuration is executed everytime i press a key... Does this mean that aptana saves my project everytime i make a single change to it? If so, how do I disable it? Running all my unit tests everytime i press a single key is kinda taxing on my system :P
Found it! Disable "Build Automatically" in Eclipse -> Workspace settings
