Notepad2e VS notepad-plus-plus

To the person commenting on whether notepad-plus-plus.org was a legitimate domain: this is the strongest proof I've found: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/...

honest question - why was there a need to start a new repo? Would you be ok to merge yours with notepad++'s official repo[0]. Did this cross your mind before and what happened?

Not saying that they would allow but it'd help the community as a whole with less duplication of work and deliver more features.

If you sling text around regularly, why not treat yourself to a decent text editor? Both Notepad++ (Windows) and Notepadqq (Linux) are free, open-source, and a hell of a lot netter than Notepad.

The most common way I use it is to right click a note and open a note in the default app which I have set .MD to open in Notepad++ which is a text editor with regex search/replace.

you sort the lines with a good text editor. Notepad++ for example has a function Edit -> Line Operations -> Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending / Descending. In Emacs you mark the block and run M-x sort-lines. In vim, you mark the block and run :sort.

I’ve always used Windows, but am thinking about switching to macOS since I already have an iPhone and iPad. My biggest concern is that some of the apps I sometimes use only work with Windows, such as Notepad++. I also use some Minecrsft utilities such as MCCToolChest, or Open Note Block Studio.

Now, use a text editor like Notepad++ to help you edit the XML. Although the TAB files lack a correct starting tag to identify them as XML, once you choose that language in Notepad++, you will get coloured syntax highlighting and can Fold All levels and then only unfold the ones you want to work on (I suggest using the powerful search feature to jump you to where you want to be).

Don't agonize over your text editor when you are learning. if it has line numbers and syntax highlighting, go ahead and use it. Notepad++, VSCodium, Sublime, VSCode, gedit, nano, vim or any other text editor will do fine.

Sublime has a portable no-install option, as does Notepad++
