It makes more sense to add this to Wordpad, but didn’t they kill Wordpad in Windows 11? Keep Notepad simple.

- pdpi 2y agoI'm not sure how they built this thing, but it makes sense to me on the face of it: Notepad should be the thinnest wrapper possible around a simple textbox, and the generated thing they're showing should be built into the widget itself so it's exposed to all apps in the OS (much like macOS exposes emacs/readline-style shortcuts everywhere that uses a default textbox).
- Dwedit 2y agoThe last time they significantly improved the text box was adding in support for mixed LTR and RTL characters around Windows 2000. And arguably Windows 10 adding in the emoji IME when you hit WindowsKey + .
