- userbinator 9y agoNotepad is literally a window with the standard Windows Edit control inside it, so they certainly have the source code. My guess as to why they don't care to support \n-only is that there's been very little need to; anyone who needs more advanced editing isn't going to use Notepad anyway. As the sibling comment mentions, WordPad (which is similar but with a RichEdit control) does support \n-only.
