[ANN] "language-livecode" 0.6.0 for Atom Editor

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Kay, that did the trick.

There's still a couple of things Tom doesn't appear to do, both regarding
indentation.

The script editor ( and TextMate) automatically indent after
if/repeat/switch statements, Atom doesn't.  I know it has snippets that
will insert a complete if block with indentation but if I simply type an if
statement followed by return, no indentation.

The other one is if I press the tab key in the IDE Script Editor, all my
code is properly indented and aligned.  I would guess that's too specific
for Atom to be able to handle, but I miss that feature.
