Heyjo,
is it possible to run code/commands directly in Atom like C# Code in Visual Studio?
Seems like the “iex” Extension is Linux only and i have a windows system…
Greetings,
Nopp

Yes!
I use this terminal package: Sunsetting Atom - The GitHub Blog
However, it is Powershell and iex is an alias in Powershell, for Invoke-Expression
So to run iex in Powershell, you can use iex.bat -S mix

What is an elixir terminal? Just open your command line of choice and type
iex.And I do not consider it contra productive, as in most IDEs or smart editors (atom is one of the latter) you need the mouse to go from code to terminal pane, while if editor and terminal are distinct windows I can just use Win+K (or Alt+Tab on most mainstream DEs) to swap active windows.

You mean the Elixir Terminal itself?
Isn’t this a little contra productive to use it outside of my IDE?
NobbZ
AFAIK Atom needs one installed first via a plugin, but you can just use your regular terminal…

The terminal itself in Atom.
I pasted my current view of Atom and i am not able to find it
NobbZ
Where do you find what?
Nopp
Yes, i installed VSCode at first, but i couldn’t find a good “Tutorial” for the whole inbstallation. I don’t mean the expensions, i mean the VSCode itself, with the Project Folder etc. A best practise would have been very helpful here for a non developer… I gave up here.
Nopp
Maybe i am blind or i just closed something by accident, but where do i find it?
Or do you mean “Elixir”, the App itself?

I don’t know about Atom, but it was possible in Sublime Text 3 via a the most popular REPL plugin. So I suppose it should be doable somehow in Atom as well. I have switched to VS Code now, though, due to the superior intellisense-like features implemented by the awesome elixir-ls plugin.
NobbZ
Why don’t you use
iexin the terminal?
