First three things I install on any machine - 7zip, Notepad++, alternate browser.
- LostMyWords 9mo agoYes, but I start with the browser. What are the Notepad++ alternatives on Linux and MacOS, for those times when I have to use them?
- GuinansEyebrows 9mo agovim :)
- dizhn 9mo agoI love a feature of notepad++ where when you have documents open and exit, it won't bother you with a save dialog and when you open it again the previous state will be there. I found that mousepad on linux can do this. For something functionality close I would look at Kate.
- netsharc 9mo agoI love and hate it at the same time, just like my browser tabs hoarding, it means I currently have 218 open documents on Notepad++ (and 96 browser tabs). I might not even need them anymore, but it's always "I'll look at them... later".
- dizhn 9mo agoFor the browser you can use something like Session Buddy. Save the session and move on secure in the knowledge that the tabs are there IF you need them. https://sessionbuddy.com/ https://sessionbuddy.com/
- netsharc 9mo agoThanks, I use https://www.visibotech.com/search/label/FreshStart https://www.visibotech.com/search/label/FreshStart but Session Buddy looks more polished.
- DANmode 9mo agoor notepadqq
- paffdragon 9mo agoSublime maybe?
- bigstrat2003 9mo agoSublime Text. I think it's better than Notepad++ and is available for all computer platforms, not just Windows.
- NetMageSCW 9mo agoI don’t think licensed software is a valid alternative to freeware.
- nosrepa 9mo agoGeany. Both npp and geany use the same editor component.
- TiredOfLife 9mo agoA lite (without node) version of Zed could be it.
- baal80spam 9mo agoBBEdit (free version of course).
- zvqcMMV6Zcr 9mo agoAt least in past I gave up and just used N++ with Wine. It didn't fit the rest of system at all, but was more usable for editing simple text files than DE defaults of GEdit and Kate.
- 1718627440 9mo agoThese kind of editors are typically already installed. Pluma, Kate, Emacs, Vi... If anything there is still nano. And of course “Ed is the standard text editor.” > https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html
- bdavbdav 9mo agoVSCode in UI land, nano/vim in terminal.
- kbelder 9mo agoSame, but additionally Irfanview. And once upon a time, Media Player Classic used to be on that list. This train of thought made me go find https://www.oldversion.com/ https://www.oldversion.com/. For a while, that was invaluable.
- whynotmaybe 9mo agoSame, I use ninite for that.
