Atom

Atom is a desktop text editor application based on web technologies. Like other desktop apps, it has its own icon in the dock, native menus and dialogs, and full access to the file system. Open the dev tools, however, and Atom's web-based core shines through. Whether you're tweaking the look of Atom's interface with CSS or adding major features with HTML and JavaScript, it's never been easier to take control of your editor.

At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it.

• Fixed an issue on Windows where Atom would fail to launch when executing the wmic command failed.
• Fixed an issue on Mac where Atom would fail to launch when executing the defaults or locale command failed.
• Improved scrolling behavior when dragging selections with the mouse.

• Fixed an issue where cursors were not restored correctly after undoing multi-cursor edits.
