That’s very strange, because I could replicate Ctrl + P not working using your patch, but mine got it to work, at least for me. I am going to look in to this more in the coming days...
Atom update to v1.40.1 breaks git-diff (and Atom generally freezes)

See https://dev.getsol.us/D7867, it should fix all of your issues. I am honestly tired of electron apps and all their issues, but this should probably be possible to close as resolved when that differential revision lands.

@Jacalz JoshStrobl Guys, I guess my good old atom v1.39.0 is now missing from your repositories.
I am checking for it here: https://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/shannon/a/atom/
Maybe I just don't know something 
Anyway, could you give me a command to install that particular version if it's still possible? And maybe it's worth to make a new rollback release of the package? So the latest atom version for Solus will be not the newest one, but at least properly working one?
