If you're lucky you might find that the Meta key works (try the Windows key if you have one). On my Mac the Alt key is not being correctly captured by Atom, so none of the related shortcuts are working.
I'm using Atom now and I have to say that when it works it works beautifully, but the devs seem to be a bit blind to the idea that people might have different work patterns from themselves. Divining for oneself that you need to press Esc to exit the Find panel is not intuitive but works very nicely once you know (although the vi-keybindings guys are suffering on that one it seems). Reading the online discussions on these matters is a strange insight into their thought processes. David.
