I am running Brackets on a macbook pro and when I press cmd+, and try to edit the defaultPreferences.json file, it does not allow me to make any changes to the file (nothing happens when I type). If I restart Brackets I can edit the file, but after closing and re-opening the preferences file, the changes are reverted.
I have tried editing the json file with TextEdit while Brackets is closed, but Brackets still likes to reverse the changes.
I had similar issue , and i did open issue at Bracket's GitHub repository and here is the solution from its developers:-
defaultPreferences.json is a read-only file: take the options you
want to modify and copy them to the brackets.json file on the other
pane. This will override the defaults. You will also see code hints
while typing the values in to brackets.json which will help picking
the correct options.
Now it is also available to install brackets-preferences plugin and edit from there. Once installed go to View -> Preferences in your Brackets interface to edit preferences.

Regardless of whether it were supposedly possible to customize this shortcut in the user preferences file (*) : is there actually a default shortcut for Replace/Replace-Next ? Following shows there is no hover-help on it:
(*) After many attempts I have never been successful for the keymap.cson to be respected by Atom. It just gets ignored. Thus I want to use whatever is the default binding for Replace[/-Next] .
No, there is no default shortcut for "Replace Next", only one for "Replace All" (ctrl+enter or ⌘+enter).
But there is a built-in command for it. Putting this in my keymap.cson file works for me:
'atom-text-editor':
'alt-cmd-e': 'find-and-replace:replace-next'
I found this example from here:
https://github.com/bronson/dotfiles/blob/master/.atom/keymap.cson
All of the default settings are here:
https://github.com/atom/find-and-replace/blob/master/keymaps/find-and-replace.cson
It sounds like you already know this, but just for reference, you can find your keymap.cson file by going to Settings (ctrl+, or ⌘+,), and clicking the "Open Config Folder" button.
If your keymap.cson is being ignored, I would start to diagnose the problem by commenting out everything except those two lines in order to see if another setting in keymap.cson is broken.
I am trying to use the "find in project" feature of Atom editor.
I am coming from sublime and assumed that opening a folder is the equivalent of opening a project. Is this assumption correct?
If so, then I have a project open. I then search from a string using "Find in project". I am certain the string exists, and the file type is not ignored, yet it still returns no result.
I ran into this issue, and it only affected one project - a project in a git repo.
I checked the settings of the search field.. they were fine.
My issue was, as #fab313 mentioned above, as the setting in Core > Exclude VCS ignored paths.
Once I unchecked that box (Atom menu, Preferences, Core).. all project searches worked fine!
I had this same problem and I found that I accidentally clicked some of the settings boxes in the bottom right.
You just want to make sure you know which boxes are checked.
If I check one of those boxes (making them blue) then my CTRL/Command + F will only find a single result.
The settings will look like this and cause the problems for me:
My CSS files are displayed in collapsed style. I want to change it to expanded style, but when I change it to expanded style and press okay, it still doesn't work!
Just changing the setting won't change your formatting. You have to reformat the document or select a block and reformat it.
Edit > Advanced > Format Document
If that doesn't work check if the setting is getting reset once you open and close Visual Studio - in this case you might want to try deleting your settings file and trying again (it's in ..\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Settings\ called CurrentSettings.vsssettings. Note that you will lose all your settings once you do this!
Actually it might be also worthwhile to check if you have update writes to that location before you try that and also try closing Visual Studio, starting it up as an administrator and trying it again.
And if all else fails, one last option is to find a machine where this works and copy the settings file over. Again note that you will lose all your settings once you do this!
I have installed Brackets with Tern Intelligence.
Inside my file Main.js, I type the following thing
Math.
And press ctrl-enter. I imagine I should see pow,max,etc, show up. What am I missing?
Code hints should appear automatically - no need to press anything. (If you do want to trigger them manually though, it's Ctrl-Space, not Ctrl-Enter).
What's in the rest of your Main.js file? If you make a new, blank JS file does it work? When I type Math. in an empty .js file, I see a list of code hints both while I'm typing Math and the appropriate list of options after typing the .
Also, try using Debug > Reload Without Extensions to make sure you don't have an extension installed that could be causing a problem.
As the title, i can't find the way to make alignment plugin available with .less file. It's just work on CSS File
I haven't tested this yet, but I have a pretty strong hunch that it might help your case.
Open sublime text, and go to Preferences>Browse Packages
Look for the Alignment plugin folder and enter in it.
Look at the files in there, you will see:
Base File.sublime-settings
CSS.sublime-settings
Javascript.sublime-settings
JSON.sublime-settings
Try your hand at creating a LESS.sublime-settings file in there, copying the contents of another of the settings files, for example, the JSON.sublime-settings contains this:
{ "alignment_chars": ["=", ":"] }
It seems to me, that to enable alignment to work as expected with other filetypes not designed as default with the plugin, one would have to add this settings file to the plugin in order for it to work out.
I am not sure if the file name has to be case sensitive towards the syntax you want align to work with. If you installed the less package, you should see "LESS" shows up in the list as all caps, this is why my guess is to name the file LESS.sublime-settings. You can try different naming if it doesn't go at first...
Open any LESS file in Sublime Text.
Navigate to:
- Preferences
-- Package Settings
--- Alignment
---- Settings-Syntax Specific-User
Alternatively, if you're on a Mac hit Command+Shift+P and start typing 'Alignment' and the option will appear. Once clicked, an empty JSON file will be generated for you: LESS.sublime-settings
As EffectiX mentioned, just type in { "alignment_chars": [":"] } or whatever you want to align on. Save the file. This will work with pretty much any file format if configured correctly.
