I find myself reaching for the most low-fi editing tools. I can never get VSCode to look right, so I just use notepad++ and the pain goes away.

- rightbyte 5y agoNotepad++ is so good. Straight Win32 calls and no BS. Just about the right amount of features. I wish they had a official Linux release ...
- thrower123 5y agoThere are, or used to be, a lot of decent Scintilla-based editors. Geany isn't a bad alternative to notepad++ on linux
- d3nj4l 5y agoEvery DE has a code editor these days, GNOME has geany and KDE has Kate, and so on. Incidentally, marcan of asahi linux fame primarily uses Kate in his streams, and from what I've seen it's perfectly functional.
- mellavora 5y agoI once heard about something called vim
- mixmastamyk 5y agoGeany is gtk, has no other connection to gnome.
- d3nj4l 5y agoMy bad. I mixed it up with gedit, which is the thing that comes bundled with GNOME.
- dotancohen 5y agoLet me know what you'd do in Notepad++ that Kate doesn't already do. I'll try to find it or file a feature request. Kate is absolutely terrific, it sits perfectly between VIM in a terminal and JetBrains for an entire project, whether I'm editing code, personal notes, or prose.
- delian66 5y agoIt works very well under wine.
- dlivingston 5y agoWhat are its benefits over something like Sublime?
- mixmastamyk 5y agoIt's pretty similar in scope. Native GUI on Windows and therefore limited to it.
