nightwing commented 8 years ago

In general case no, since APIs of atom and cloud9 are rather different, but porting atom plugins to cloud9 should be realatively straightforward. Are you looking to use any specific atom plugin?

@nightwing Any chance of a guide on how to do so? (i.e. what parts need to be changed, which api features are different, what to do with the typescript files, etc.

I'm hoping to use this Atom plugin in Cloud9: https://atom.io/packages/dash.

Anyway this is possible?

Thanks in advance.

For a hosted c9 environment, that shouldn't be possible. A website that controls desktop applications would demonstrate quite a major security problem in your browser. For folks running c9 locally, you could theoretically do it, though I didn't look much into the details given the problems above.

If questions about particular atom plugins come up more, we should probably have a better way to answer them than comments in this issue. Maybe a wiki page?
