Separately from being my JS IDE of choice, VS Code has for the most part replaced Notepad++. It's quite good at being a general purpose "heavyweight" text editor.
- ourmandave 8y agoHas anybody written a Notepad++ to VS Code command translation guide? I use Notepad++ for all sorts of text related things (cutting, sorting, making 100s of julennne phrases) but not as an editor. If there was a cheat sheet of VS shortcuts I could ditch Notepad++ completely.
- freehunter 8y agoVS Code has a printable cheatsheet of keyboard shortcuts that it prompts you to view when you first open the editor.
- misterdoubt 8y agoAlso available here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/tips-and-tricks https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/tips-and-trick... I, too, am making the Notepad++ -> vscode move.
- zeppelin101 8y agoI don't see the point of ditching Notepad++. It's still an excellent text editor and it's more lightweight than VSCode. I use both and I'm very happy with it.
- munchbunny 8y agoIt's not about whether there's a point. Their functionality is close enough that it's entirely a matter of preference.
- hahamrfunnyguy 8y agoThat's exactly what it's intended for, in my view. I still use Notepad++ for quick edits though, mostly because I am so used to it.
