Disable the spell-check package

By default, a package called “spell-check” is enabled. However, this package is unnecessary. Those red lines that appear with Japanese text must bother many people. To remove this, you can delete or disable the package, but it’s easy to do from the command line.

apm disable spell-check

Set Atom’s default line ending to LF.

On Windows, the OS default is CRLF, so you’ll want to change it. Honestly, there are no merits to CRLF. At least from the perspective of someone who mainly works with Ruby and Python. Maybe if you work with C, you use CRLF? I don’t know. Conversely, when connecting to a server via SSH on the command line, you get errors when referencing CRLF files. I think there are more times when you need LF.

So let’s set the default to LF.

Settings > installed packages > line-ending-selector > OS default => LF

Install the Script package

This is a package that allows you to execute scripts in Atom. This is extremely convenient, so I highly recommend it.

apm install script
