The only real use-case I can see here is getting access to multi-select, and find/replace utilities, or perhaps other custom shortcuts you might use. Overall a neat little trick. Atom is not my usual editor of choice but I could see a few small potential use cases.
- ericfrederich 11y agoI wind up copying text into Sublime all the time to do my formatting then paste it back into my browser. Things like GitLab, GitHub, Bugzilla, Wikis, etc. You have a comma separated list of strings like "one", "two", "three", "four" and need to turn them into Markdown bullets - one - two - three - four ... an easy task for sublime or Atom
- jakub_g 11y agoI usually copy-paste longish things to the text editor (or at least to clipboard) to avoid data loss in case the webapp crashed / browser crashed / HTTP request failed / I mistakenly pressed backspace when out of the textarea (which navigates to previous page) It happens rarely but when it happens, it hurts.

- jakub_g 11y agoThere are some, like [1] But I use many browsers, webapps reset the forms contents with JS etc. It's complicated. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-...
- niij 11y agoTry the Lazarus extension. It keeps a history of form fields. It saved my butt more than once.
- tedmiston 11y agoAnother benefit is being able to use Sublime snippets as email templates.
- faizmokhtar 11y agoYup, neat little trick. Also, I think this might be useful for answering or asking question on StackOverflow. Gods knows how hard it is to format your codes properly on those sweet little box.
