Atom Rhinopy Run Script Hotkeys Not Working
You can use the $.evalFile method to use upload an external file. Inside evalFile you are going to add the address of the file on your computer.
If you are working in Windows use 'Copy Path' in the window explorer to get the file's address. You can code and save the file in Atom or any text editor and After Effects will see the code and run it. Write your code how you usually would in After Effects and everything should be good. Tip: Since JavaScript and Expression are very similar languages save your file as a js file which stand for JavaScript. Atom will give you more options as js rather than a txt file. I'd also did a video on it in a little bit more detail. //Example: var path = 'C: Users Admin Desktop Coding After Effects Episodes Back to Basics Text Editor Document expression.js'; //Use a double backslashes or a single forward slash because a single backslash will take the text out of the string $.evalFile(path); For Expression Tutorials.

The cow must have switched it out. Also, for some reason using the hotkey inside of Process Palette gives some kind of error in AE about trying to run the script 2x. To get around it you have to set up the hotkey in the Atom keymap. I actually got this info from this tutorial series.
It's behind a paywall, but you can just sign up for a month, get access to all of their tutorials, and then cancel. REALLY helpful.
