Hi @bycco,

“supports LAMMPS” is pretty vague here but I assume your refer to syntax highlighting given that I do not know what else Atom could provide as a text editor.

The tools directory in the source code repo provides several text editor LAMMPS input script syntax highlighting plugin files for several well known text-editor: Vim/Neovim, Kate or emacs. Installation details are provided either in the README files or in the editors’ respective documentations. The editing of the files is also straightforward.

For C++ source files, I think any recent code or text editor will fit your needs.

There are lots of choices, here are a few that I know people are using:
Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio (on Windows only), Eclipse, Netbeans, Code::Blocks, Geany, Gedit, KDevelop, Emacs, Vim

Personally, I prefer Emacs for larger tasks and (sometimes) Vim for small quick changes, but I learned programming when most of the programs from the list above didn’t exist.
