Notepad++ is awesome! kudos to the developer, one of those must have replacements on windows 😉👍
Multi-edit is huge. It's literally THE reason why I use sublime text from time to time.
I frequently copy text from NP++ to sublime. do a multi edit, then copy it back over multiple times a day.
Why bother with NP++ if you already own sublime, which is arguably equivalent or better, is my question. I use Sublime and I am wondering what feature could be missing to justify still having NP++ installed.
I don’t own sublime.
But even if I did I prefer it over sublime most of the time. Hence copying stuff into it, multi editing, then copying it back over.
From just the little things like NP++ actually supporting windows 11s right click menu, to liking notepads find and replace options better. To stupid things like I think sublime is ugly as hell. Which really says something with how basic NP++ looks.
Yes and there’s virtually no limitations. Every other time you’d hit save you’d get a “please buy me” message, but I think even that’s gone now in later versions of sublime.
I have 200 unsaved notes just waiting in the memory guillotine for when something accidentally wipes them. I salute you, Notepad++.
It's so bad but so good. It's like a poweruser variation of keeping important stuff in the recycle bin.
My physical notepads aren't much better, every page is a new context, and despite my best efforts they don't seem to be in chronological order.
Todays notes are on top but everything older is "somewhere".
Congratulations to everyone involved! I don't use Windows anymore, but when I did, NPP was one of the first things to get installed. Super useful.
Same. I wonder if they'll create a Linux port at some point (GTK themes?), because there just isn't anything quite like it.
Look up notepadqq, these guys are doing a Qt port. But you can also use Kate or VSCodium, these are pretty similar if not better.
Because of the snappiness -- codium is no faster than code. For me, NPP is used for making single-word changes to a bunch of files in a row--like vim, but a GUI.
It's
Free Updated very regularly It has awesome plugins Themes Fantastic search / replace capabilities Support the formatting of a lot of languages Very light weight Keeps open all those files forever and ever
It's just very good..
Think of it as the vlc of txt files
I used Crimson Editor before I found Notepad++ and I can't believe it's been that long. Cheers to 20 years!
