how can I disconnect proto-repl so that I can close atom and reopen atom and restart proto-repl
When you close Atom, the REPL will disconnect -- perhaps I'm not understanding what you are asking @hotbelgo?
Otherwise ctrl-alt-, e
will stop the REPL.
It's the Proto Repl: Exit Repl
command. Also bound to ctrl-, e
according to the command palette.
Cool - thanks @seancorfield - its felt like closing atom was not sufficient sometimes, but perhaps it was some other beginner problem that was actually to blame
The other useful command is Proto Repl: Interrupt
bound to ctrl-shift-c
.
