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: Geany - integrated terminal emulation

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

You might take a look at Atom Terminal Panel packages.

  • okay thanks! not perfect (it doesn't run vi/vim, for example), but otherwise it works! – nathanielng Apr 23 '15 at 02:39
  • @nathanielng My pleasure! You might create new issue on package repo. Maybe author of the package can help :) – AtomTips Apr 23 '15 at 12:13
  • this doesn't work on ubuntu....ctrl + shift + t does nothing for me. Occassionally it will open a Gnome terminal but is not integrated into the panel. This is just buggy –  Sep 05 '15 at 21:52
  • @kristen atom-terminal is broken, use platformio-atom-ide-terminal instead. – Ajedi32 Apr 21 '16 at 21:32

    Too bad about all these things being "panels". Is it asking so much to have it in a tab? – nathanchere Oct 06 '16 at 09:20
  • @nathanchere sure, with [terminal-tab](https://atom.io/packages/terminal-tab). Also worth to mention the most popular [terminal-plus](https://atom.io/packages/terminal-plus) – Pablo Bianchi Mar 22 '19 at 23:18

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:

I recomend you use "platformio-ide-terminal"

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

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.

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.
