Theta is different between Atom and Julia REPL #11

Closed andyferris closed 8 years ago

andyferris commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm getting two different symbols from Atom and from the Julia REPL for \theta. These are:

θ Θ

They look different here on the website but the same in Atom, which is super confusing!

Interesting, they do seem to be different. We generate symbols using Julia's map, but it's possible Julia has changed and we just need to update.

MikeInnes commented 8 years ago

Ok, that's not right, but I think what's happening is that Atom puts Theta above theta in the completions list – so you're completing with capital-theta which looks similar in monospace.

Oops, silly me!

In general, I find Atom's completions to be quite spammy. It seems to want to "help" even after typing a correct identifier, so I'm constantly reaching for Esc or similar. This is yet another case of that...

In theory we can change how Atom weights different completions, so that e.g. the case of the latex character is taken into account. Might be worth looking into eventually.
