Atom still has an inconvenient bug: if you use an European keyboard layout on Windows, one which maps important characters like @ and <> to an "AltGr + something" chord, you will be in pain as Atom uses a lot of Ctrl+Alt+something keyboard shortcuts for its functions, and that appears to be non-rebindable, so there is no clean way to get those characters in Atom! The canonical solution for this on the Windows platform is to never use Ctrl+Alt shortcuts, ever.

Indeed, I just installed it again to check and it is still unusable with french layouts, e.g. it is impossible to type a ']' (AltGr + ')') in any environment.

Have you tried https://atom.io/packages/keyboard-localization?

I used the auto keymap generation feature (you just type the caracters that have issues in a textbox and it generates/saves a keymap) and I don't have problems with my fr-FR keyboard anymore.

Yes, it apparently fixes some problems for some layouts (notably, the German and French ones), but not for others (including my layout...).
