Notepad and plain text is the last place I want AI. I just want a place to type and paste non-formatted (outside of whitespace) text.

- Auracle 2y agoThere’s probably a way to turn it off but I hate how it auto opens the last file now.
- aithrowawaycomm 2y agoThe addition of tabs to Notepad has made me stop using it entirely. My entire workflow around it was having separate windows for each document that I could move and close freely. Having an all-in-one-place Notepad filled with the ghosts of API tokens past is precisely the opposite of what I needed.
- zigman1 2y agoBut you can still open multiple windows?
- aithrowawaycomm 2y agoIt doesn't open in new windows by default, which was enough for me to stop using it.
- EasyMark 2y agoI think it takes maybe 3 clicks to set up "old style notepad". I don't understand the harsh criticism? I don't use it myself since I have a sublime license, and st3 opens up instantly, but I don't think the new changes to notepad are the end of the world.
- aithrowawaycomm 2y agoI don’t understand why anything I said is a “harsh criticism” or “the end of the world.” I don’t actually care about Notepad! It might have taken 3 clicks to set it up, but it took zero clicks to say “this is a change I didn’t want and I don’t care enough to learn how to fix it, I’ll just use something else.”
- nehal3m 2y agoYeah, not everything needs an LLM tacked on. Notepad is a lesson in tool minimalism; it serves a lot of use cases precisely because it has a small feature set.
- reginald78 2y agoTelemetry indicated people were using notepad a lot resulting it being targeted by the AI team to juice uptake numbers.
