Always on the top

Open kamilkuczynski opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hey

Is it possible to keep the atom editor always on the top of the screen no matter where I click? It would be good if I want to watch the tutorial and type at the same moment.

If not it would be a good feature.

Greetings

Atom is abandonedware. Due to complications with github being acquired by microsoft, it is unclear if/when this will ever be formally acknowledged. To give an idea of how abandoned this software is:

  • The discussions section was deleted without notice after getting spammed despite methods existing to fix discussion board spam.
  • None of the original maintainers/devs have committed to the repo since 2020
  • There are, as far as I can tell, two official maintainers for this repo these days.
  • The CI pipeline is broken with no indications of being fixed

This software should not be used. Nearly all of its dependencies are ancient, and nobody is left to pass the torch. It is too big, has been touched by too many hands, and has been left to die for too long to be rescued.

If you would like to explore a de-microsfted text editor based on Electron, try VSCodium, a repackaged binary of VSCode's open source codebase with all the microsoft telemetry stripped out, and which uses an open source extension distribution platform separate again from Microsoft.

I personally find it to be quite adequate.
