Which features of Npp are you struggling to find in other editors? I used Npp a bit a decade ago when I had to work with Windows but it didn't really have any stand out features (not a complaint, it worked perfectly for what I needed).
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoThe one that I've not yet seen in an alternative is a simple way to implement simple custom syntax highlighting. Npp has the UDL GUI, but I don't even need the GUI if specifying what to highlight and how to highlight it is as straightforward as the UDL XMLs are. Sadly most things have either hardcoded syntax highlighting or poorly documented convoluted specification files. Most of the other features I use most are fairly common though: line sorting and dedupe, column editing, regex search and replace, EoL conversion, compare/diff, etc.
- petepete 5y agoInteresting, the ease of editing syntax highlighting rules is something I hadn't considered. It feels like lots of editors are moving to Tree-sitter so things may improve in that regard.
