Nano has syntax highlighting, auto-indent, spellcheck, regex search/replace, and overwrite prevention. It's clearly in a class beyond Notepad.

- rossy 8y agoYeah, I think it's safe to say most Linux and macOS systems don't have an editor as basic as Notepad (even ed has regex support!) The closest equivalent I can think of is Mousepad from Xfce. I don't really see the need for it either. If your distro comes with something like nano, gedit or KWrite out of the box, why would you need something like Notepad?
