Window.prompt-like modal dialog in Atom?

[mark_hahn]

I need a popup that accepts text and then goes away, like the browser’s window.prompt modal dialog. It can either be one built in like atom.confirm or some code in an existing package I can copy.

Duh. Thanks.

@leedohm We have got to fix this text limit. One word can be worth a thousand pictures. What if someone asks “How many quarts are in a gallon”? One one character is required. At least just make it a warning like replying too many times.

There’s been some discussion on that here, which explains some of the rationale behind it:

What can I do to make Discuss better?

There’s a problem with generic praise – it is hard to evaluate and feels insincere when someone says “I agree” or “great job” or “thank you”. It is much more effective to describe in detail what was specifically helpful/great/agreeable, and why: [image] Lots of studies on this in children, but I believe the effect is just as valid in adults: Be specific. Generic praise is nice but specific praise is wonderful. Don’t just tell an employee she did a good job; tell her how she did a good job…

In your example, perhaps it’d be even more useful to explain that since a quarter means one fourth, there are 4 quarts in a gallon instead of only answering 4? That’s what I like about StackOverflow, almost every answer contains a (detailed) explanation, allowing me to understand the solution to the problem rather than only knowing the answer.
