Notepad++

I thought so too, yet here I am on arch linux now.

I guess I could run it under wine or something if I really needed it.

I feel like the text editors we get by default do all the things I ever wanted notepad++ for anyway.

There's still something nice about np++ though, sure it might be unnecessary on Linux but it just feels familiar and reliable

[–] Crozekiel 1 points 3 months ago

Absolutely. Nothing wrong with np++ for sure. But it does feel like something someone had to make just to make up for the shortcomings of built-in options in Windows.

There is notepadqq, if I remember correctly.
