====== Atom ======
Atom is sometimes a pain but it's free, extremely flexible, and does really good regex. Also works on many platforms.  Atom was really useful so of course Micro$oft killed it.

===== Can't install packages =====
When searching for packages you get the error: unable to get local issuer certificate.

You're behind a firewall or proxy that's breaking SSL.  Best fix might be in [https://github.com/atom/apm/issues/340 this thread].

Less secure (but easier 🤷‍♂️) solution is to run the following from the CLI.
 apm config set strict-ssl false
 apm config set https-proxy <nowiki>http://YOUR_PROXY_ADDRESS</nowiki>

To find the proxy address:
* In the Windows search bar, type "Internet Options".
* Select Internet Options from the results list.
* Click on the Connections tab.
* Click the LAN settings button.
* Two options here:
** If a static proxy is configured it will be listed in the Address box in the bottom section (Proxy server).
** If Automatic configuration is being used then hopefully there will be an address in the top Address box that points at the config script.
*** Put that URL in your browser and it will load the config file with the proxy info in there.  In my case it was near the bottom of the script.
** If The Automatically detect settings is configured and there's nothing in the Address box then you're on your own. Google can probably tell you how to find the proxy, certainly a packet capture would unearth it, but I don't know a simple method and right now I don't need to.

NOTE: You have to restart the editor before the config settings will take.  It also looks like they might not be permanent, which will really bug me if it's true.
