Nice to see this project, will try it out. When I moved from Windows 11 to Ubuntu I was really happy to find most of my daily use utilities in Linux or equivalents, but I was shocked there isn't a native version of Notepad++, its the kind of app you would expected to have multiple ports in several OSes. The version from Snap doesn't integrate well with Linux.
The record and play macro feature is probably the most useful tool, I keep grabbing code from VStudio/JetBrains-based editors to refactor/format it in NP++. For me the future of text editors should go in the automated direction: "see these identifiers and strings, tabulate them in columns to make my code more readable, now convert this column of strings into identifiers with given prefix and camel case, and define them in that module."
- tfigment 5y agoNotepad++ is a wrapper around scite using native windows apis or at least was years ago. Find a native editor using that library in same way such as SciTE itself.
