Our package recommendations

Project Manager

Atom works on the basis of "folder" based project. It remembers the settings / state for when you open a project.

This package allows you to quickly open a specific folder. You can even store config options specific to a project. For example, at my work, we don't remove whitespace or add a new line to allow people to use whatever editor and not get insignificant diffs on legacy code:

'work':
  'title': 'work'
  'paths': [
    'C:\\dev\\work'
  ],
  'settings':
    'whitespace.removeTrailingWhitespace': false
    'whitespace.ensureSingleTrailingNewline': false

It also allows you to configure options of atom-typescript on a per project basis:

'work':
  'title': 'work'
  'paths': [
    'C:\\dev\\work'
  ],
  'settings':
    'atom-typescript.debugAtomTs': false

Jumpy

Saves a lot of wrist pain.

Like Visual Studio’s Go Back To Previous Location. Really useful when you’re navigating and want to go back to where you were previously working.

Who has time to bring up the find and replace dialog for a quick find word?

docblockr

For easier jsdocing.
