Excellent work, I am looking for notepad++ equivalent on Mac..
- kzrdude 4y agoHow are sublime and textmate doing? Thought there was a lot of better choice than notepad++
- com2kid 4y agoSublime is way too heavy weight. Notepad++ is that thing I open up when I need to edit a 2GB log file really quick. Or use a regex to fix up a CSV file that somehow got messed up. Not having Notepad++ on MacOS is a major pain point for me. Notably Notepad++ is not project/folder based. It is for editing a file.
- have_faith 4y ago> Sublime is way too heavy weight Damn, sublime is what I use as my light weight editor ha. Never had trouble opening (relatively) large files.
- com2kid 4y agoMore in terms of UI. Notepad++ has what you need to edit a file and not much else, but it also has a decent plugin system.
- have_faith 4y agoST almost has no UI when opening a single file (no sidebar etc), would be curious how it could be more minimal.
- nicoburns 4y agoCheck out the view menu. Pretty much all the UI bar the actual text you’re editing can be easily hidden.
- wolpoli 4y ago> Notably Notepad++ is not project/folder based. It is for editing a file. I looked and it turns out that Notepad++ does have the ability to open a folder as a workspace. So it's an extra option if it is needed.
- lastofthemojito 4y agoBBEdit from Bare Bones Software is a longstanding Mac text editor in the same vein as Notepad++, though it isn't open source or fully free to use. Bare Bones used to offer a free text editor for Mac called TextWrangler (with fewer features than BBEdit), but I guess they've now made the free mode of BBEdit their free offering. http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/ http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/
