The use of ligatures seems counter-productive to me. In the code, I do not want to see any editor shenanigans apart from syntax highlighting.

- npongratz 7y agoI agree completely. When I see ligatures, I have to mentally stop and wonder what the actual characters are "underneath". So annoying.
- redisman 7y agoIt only took me a few weeks to get used to it and now it' annoying to not have them. The math ones are especially nice since I always had a little bit of trouble remembering the order of gte and lte. Now I get immediate visual feedback that's very clear (just like in the math books).
- sp332 7y agoThe ligatures are optional. VS Code lets you toggle them on or off, Notepad++ doesn't support them (but there is a plugin for that).
- _pmf_ 7y ago> Notepad++ doesn't support them (but there is a plugin for that) Do you by any chance have a link? When I looked for the same thing, I just found one GitHub issue referring to Scintilla internals.
