How to add a live (interactive) console window to Atom?

Question

Is it possible to add a live (interactive) console window to Atom? Note that this is similar to the article on adding a live console session to LightTable, except that it is for Atom.

Essentially, I am interested in the integrated terminal emulation that Geany is capable of doing:

Is there any way to do this in the Atom text editor from Github?

Answer 1

You might take a look at Atom Terminal Panel packages.

Answer 2

I recomend you use "platformio-ide-terminal"

Answer 3

The most recent versions of atom-ide-ui now provide an integrated terminal that you can open (default keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shft-T on MacOS).

It seems to be pretty smoothly integrated, even properly using all your normal environment options.

Answer 4

Boy, do things change. As of May 2018, terminal-panel, atom-terminal-panel and terminal-plus haven't been updated in years and aren't compatible with the new versions of Atom.

At the moment, platformio-ide-terminal also doesn't support the latest stable version of Atom (1.26) - it's only been maintained up to Atom 1.25. platformio-ide-terminal is also the terminal for platformio-ide, an IoT IDE. I don't recommend it for non-IoT applications.

So there doesn't seem to be a good terminal application for Atom's non-IoT use cases right now, unless you want to use an old version of Atom.

Answer 5

platformio-ide-terminal should be better because it was fork of terminal-plus.

and most of the features and usage are same as terminal-plus.

read some docs here and you will love it. https://atom.io/packages/platformio-ide-terminal

Answer 6

I started using platformio-ide-terminal. Project URL: https://atom.io/packages/platformio-ide-terminal

Answer 7

Being used to webstorm live console I like terminal-plus a lot

Answer 8

Yes it is possible. Don't know how they did, but there is a package "paltformio-ide". Installing it would add the windows powershell in atom, like this one:
