Here’s a simple way to compile and run C and C++ programs in Atom Editor
Atom is a simple editor for a writing C program. It can be customized to do anything without modifying a config file. This C Programming IDE enables you to search, preview and replace any text as you type in your program. Atom is not an IDE. It's a text editor. That means that you will have to download other tools to compile C. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian you can install G which is the GNU project C and C compiler. Visual Studio Code on macOS Installation. Download Visual Studio Code for macOS.; Open the browser's download list and locate the downloaded archive. Extract the archive contents. At GitHub, we’re building the text editor we’ve always wanted: hackable to the core, but approachable on the first day without ever touching a config file. We can’t wait to see what you build with it.
- To do that you first need to install Atom Editor, download link https://atom.io/
- Go to Files -> Settings -> Install
search for gpp-compiler and install
(gpp compiler package link: https://atom.io/packages/gpp-compiler) - Now go to the editor and write your program and save.
- To compile the program press F5 or right click the file in tree view and click Compile and Run
- The terminal/command prompt will invoke and start to show you output if your code is compiled successfully.

ChemDraw Advanced User tips 1
If you are a regular user of ChemBioDraw (aka ChemDraw) you may be aware of the keyboard shortcuts that enable to quickly enter chemical structures.In fact there are a huge number of keyboard shortcuts and I've tried to describe them all in the table below. I've been through each key on the keyboard with either an atom or bond selected and recorded the result with or without modifier keys pressed.
So with an atom selected pressing shift E converts the atom to COOCH3, others apply only when you have a bond selected.

| A | A | Ac | Select All | ||
| B | Br | B | |||
| C | C | Cl | Copy Selection | Text center | Copy selection as SMILES |
| D | D | D | |||

Also Pressing the command key when benzene ring selected gives resonance structure.
How To Compile In Atom
All the key definitions are held in a file found here '/Applications/CS ChemOffice 2008/CS ChemDraw/ChemDraw Items/CS ChemDraw/HotKeys.txt'. This file can be edited with a text editor.
The general format is letter space text so to assign j to invoke the lasso tool simply add :-
j TOOL_LASSO
and save the file. Now pressing the j key will invoke the lasso tool. Other definitions that can be used are in the HotKeys.txt file.
