Works fine, but I would like to use the 'spell check while typing' feature. After my first installation I always got the message 'Cannot find enGB.aff - spell checking will be disabled'. Now I added that file to my dictionary folder and still nothing happens. Where can I enable the spell check again? Jan 22, 2020 The spell checker is available in all supported languages, and you can even configure Microsoft Edge to check misspelled words in multiple languages. Also, there's a dictionary, which you can.

It’s been a while since I updated my series on Atom + <something>, but here comes a good one: how to set up Atom as a LaTeX editor.When I first migrated to Atom, I found that LaTeX support was a bit subpar, at least when compared to Sublime’s.However, I’ve tried lots of packages and configurations, and I believe the combination described below makes Atom a solid LaTeX editor.

I’m assuming you already have Atom up and running.If you haven’t, go to https://atom.io/ to download and install it.

Atom, like other text editors, works in such a way that it provides a lean, solid foundation to build on top of.This means that it doesn’t come with LaTeX support out-of-the-box, which has to be added by us, in the form of packages.Each package (typically) adds one additional feature: syntax highlighting, compiling, PDF preview, etc.The good news is that it is very easy to add these, and while there are several options for each feature, I’ve tested (almost?) all of them.

Installing a package

In what follows we will install several packages.To find and download a package within Atom, go to the Settings View with Ctrl+Comma (or under Edit > Preferences).Look for the Install tab in the left, and in there just search for the package in question (wording has to be exact to get the intended package as first result).

The first thing we’ll want to do is to have syntax highlighting for .tex files.If you open a LaTeX document right now, it should look like plain text, ie. the left panel in the image below.We want to have something like the right panel.

We’ll use language-latex, which works great out of the box.To install it, open the Settings View with Ctrl+Comma and in the Install tab look for language-latex.It should start working right away.If it doesn’t, double check that the document you have open is recognized as a LaTeX file (it should say ‘Latex’ on the bottom right corner).You can also explicitly set a language for any open document with Ctrl+Shift+l (or Cmd+Shift+l on a Mac).

Writing LaTeX is slightly different from normal coding, so for this specific language I like to turn on soft wrapping.To do so, just go to the Settings View with Ctrl+Comma and in the ‘Packages’ tab look for our newly installed package, language-latex.Open its settings and make sure the ‘Soft Wrap’ option is checked.

Soft wrap and other tweaks

WTF is soft wrap?, you may ask.Soft wrap basically breaks very long lines into multiple ones, without actually inserting a real line break.Since in LaTeX you’re basically writing text, lines tend to be longer than your average Python statement, so if you want to avoid vertical scrolling this is what’s best.A stolen GIF is worth a thousand images:

I also like to be able to scroll past the end of the document, so I’m not permanently focusing on the very bottom of the screen.This feature can be activated for LaTeX in the language-latex configuration page, but I actually like this feature for all my documents, so if you also prefer that, you have to check the option in the in the ‘Editor’ tab of the general Settings View.

So here is where you have most options, but after some testing I’ve decided that the latex package is what works best (for me).After installing, it should work out of the box if you’ve installed TeXLive (or MacTeX in Mac) or MiKTeX (although I tend to avoid MiKTeX, and it is also less tested with this package).

To test it out, you can create a new file like test.tex with something like

The easiest way to compile (build) is by using Ctrl+Shift+B.If no errors are found, it should automatically open the resulting PDF in your system’s default PDF viewer (more on that below).We will also tweak some settings after installing pdf-view (below).

After a successful build, the latex package should automatically invoke your default PDF viewer for preview in a separate window.In some situations this is fine, but when I want a preview I usually prefer it side by side inside the editor itself.This behavior can be easily achieved by installing the pdf-view package.

If it doesn’t work for you after installing, go to latex package settings and be sure to select pdf-view as Opener.You can find these settings by opening the ‘Settings View’ with Ctrl+Comma and then selecting the ‘Packages’ tab on the left.Look for the latex package and click on the ‘Settings’ button.The ‘Opener’ option is near the end.

Now that you have the latex settings open, I would also recommend to check the Enable SyncTeX option.Take this opportunity to further customize the settings.For instance, you can build on each save, change the default logging levels (I would advice against changing the default though) and enable shell escape, if you need to do so.

Finally, since my native language is not english, I usually prefer to write documents with a spell checker.Unfortunately, spell check is one of the most poorly developed LaTeX tools in Atom.For the time being I went with the basic spell-check, which comes by default with Atom.Make sure the package is installed (it should) and enabled.Then go to the package’s settings and add text.tex.latex at the end of the list of Grammars, like in the bottom right of the screenshot below.

After doing this, you should get spell checking in your LaTeX document.However, something that annoyed me is that you also get corrections for obviously-LaTeXy commands, like documentclass.I discovered you can exclude certain parts of the document with the ‘Exlude Scopes’ option, and I added these scopes to that list.You can add each scope in spell-check settings as comma separated names, or you can paste the following code directly in your config.cson file (Edit > Config...):
