Q: After reinstalling Atom text editor I lost almost all core features I am using Ubuntu 14.04 OS. I reinstalled Atom text editor  (I installed it by following instructions @ Atom GitHub ). I am using 64 bit version. I lost a lot of features such as, searching specific characters (CTRL+F), settings (packages, themes, etc...CTRL+,), I can no longer change document language, etc...for example if I want to open settings (CTRL+,) it opens empty config file - screenshot: 


A: To fix this problem you need to find: 
.atom folder
(reinstalling atom doesn't touch this file btw)
There are two ways to find it on Ubuntu 14.04
1) command line
$ cd .atom
2) open nautilus files explorer ui (nautilus) go to home directory, it is the one that is opened by default, go View -> Show hidden files  and delete .atom folder (or rename, copy-paste) and then reinstall Atom.
