That's quite a weird feature for a text editor. I'm not that familiar with Windows development, but isn't there such a thing as `tail` or `less`?

- fencepost 10y agoThere's nothing built-in on Windows, just a wide variety of post-install options (possibly in the old SFU Unix subsystem, certainly in the new Ubuntu-based piece, and of course a wide variety of third-party implementations including both native apps and Cygwin). This is a bit of creeping featuritis, but since Notepad++ is a good drop-in replacement/full featured text editor even for non-developers on Windows this could be considered targeting users who would never actually go looking for a 'tail -f' implementation.
