I'm interested in switching to the Atom text editor, but one thing that's keeping me with Vim is vim-notes, a plugin that automatically highlights names of your notes and allows you to jump to them by positioning your cursor over them and pressing gf (go to file under cursor). Is there a way to make Atom:
Read all the filenames in my ~/Notes directory
Highlight or underline any text in any .note file that's the name of a file in the ~/Notes directory, even if that note title has spaces.
Allow me to jump to the highlighted note by pressing some kind of key combination while the cursor is over it
I don't think there's a plugin for this, but if it's possible, I might be able to make one.

I would like to disable the default copy on empty selection in the Jupyter notebook. A corresponding problem in the Sublime text editor can be solved easily as explained in an answer to the Sublime: how to disable empty copy question (similarly for VSCode as in How to stop copying the white space, on a blank line, in Visual Studio Code?).
Jupyter scenario: whilst the text selection is empty, press the copy keyboard shortcut (ctrl+c / command+c).
Current behavior: copies the current line to clipboard, overwriting its content.
Expected behavior: do nothing and keep the clipboard content intact.
Please avoid flame wars: I realize this is a feature for some people and I don't ask for changing the defaults. However, I find it useful not to lose the copied selection by mistake while hitting ctrl+c / command+c instead of ctrl+v / command+v and having to go through ctrl+z stack popping. Peace!
When a file is opened in brackets, the full path of the file should be shown in the Title Bar. At the moment, only the filename shows in the title bar, and I cannot find any option to turn on the full path.
This can be particularly dangerous when one is editing two files of the same name in different diferectories, but it is always useful to see the directory clearly at the top. The space is otherwise unused.
(I know that the path is displayed when I hover on the filename on the tab just above the code, but this means mucking about with the mouse when I am keyboarding, and is therefore a real nuisance)
There is a GitHub issue for that with an open PR you can watch
For markdown there is a shortcut like typing a number(1,2,3,4..) in command mode (Esc) and then giving an Enter
The thing is that your cursor gets before the "###" (if you used 3) where you also need to click the End key to be able to write.
Is there a way to overcome the last action as it is very annoying.
What you already have is a one click solution, which is going to be hard to beat. The only improvement I can think of is to override the functionality that's inserting the markdown headings for you. You could extend it to also place the cell in edit mode and move the cursor to the end. This would be placed in your custom.js file, which you place here: ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.js.
See below for a screenshot of my brackets editor in a css file.
I see the colored highlighting for all file types. I am not sure what to call it.
I have been downloading extensions lately so it could be one of them but not sure what its called and thus can't search online for how to disable it.
Those colored marks are the "gutter marks" from the Brackets Git extension. They indicate added (green), modified (yellow/orange), or deleted (red) lines in the current file.
Personally, I find them very helpful. In case you still want to turn them off, go to the Git Settings and check the box for "Use Git gutter marks".
I came from vim. Its biggest win is commands like ci< when <this text is removed if cursor is placed inside angle brackets>
How can I do that in hackable editor for the XXI century?
You can do this using the vim-mode-plus plugin. It natively supports your example, and many other text-object style commands taken straight from Vim, e.g. all of these would work as well:
di<
da<
ca<
And it should work with ', ", (, and other delimiters, just like Vim.
There is a function that comes with the editor named bracket-matcher:select-inside-brackets that highlight everything inside the bracket (but not the bracket itself). You may then press backspace or delete button to remove the content, or any other button to replace the content. For windows, the default key combination is ctrl-alt-m.
If you are not using windows, or you may have accidentally overwritten the settings, you may open Setting > Keybindings and search bracket-matcher:select-inside-brackets. It should tell you what is the correct key combination.
