Better default experience about proton HOT 4 CLOSED

I definitely agree with providing a better default experience. I know a number of people who don't want to use atom simply because it takes to long to go from stock atom to something they like and feel is usable.

One thing I think the spacemacs team got right was that they set a number of config values for you to give a pretty opinionated emacs dist, but most (all?) of these default config values can be overwritten by the user in ~/.spacemacs.

I suggest that we should feel free to be pretty specific in tuning the default proton template to be just what we the developers want to use (maybe toned down a little bit) as long as we allow users to undo any of the configurations we set. You've started this by having settings for proton.core.(quickOpenProvider |relativeLineNumbers|showTabBar)

So, I'm very excited about this, being a long-term vim (and now spacemacs) user. I really want to like atom/proton-mode, but after installing everything and starting up, shouldn't the space key be the central UI element? Hitting it after start-up does nothing, though. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Btw, is there a gitter (or slack?) channel for proton-mode?

@osdf We have a #proton channel on the clojurians slack but right now there are only 3 people in there.

Currently the space key works when you are in normal mode in your text editor.
To debug why it doesn't work, do you get the proton prompt after installation? Which version do you have installed? Can you open the dev tools and check for any errors?

I'm closing this here. We seem to have a great default experience now :)
