Atom VS notepad-plus-plus

I'm surprised that nobody here mentioned Atom [1]. IIUC, Atom was designed to be hackable like Emacs.

A successor to Atom is Pulsar [2].

atom (RIP buddy! Free) Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favourite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration

These versions of Atom will stop working on February 2 [2023]. To keep using Atom, users will need to download a previous Atom version.

For Mac users - mv ~/.atom ~/atom_bak rm -fr /Applications/Atom.app download https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/tag/v1.60.0 Drag download to Applications folder - to install

Which version did you roll back to, and where obtained? I noticed the packages on GitHub only go to 1.60.0, and the issue affects 1.63. Did copying packages from the .atom directory work without any other changes?

And it doesn't match because https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.63.1/atom-amd64.deb returns a 404 not found error, so of course it doesn't match.

I read the article and I would like to inform you that atom will no longer be officially supported as you can see in official repo (https://github.com/atom/atom )

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++

I mean if this Notepad++ issue ever takes off it'll be as easy as adding an LSP source pointing to ZLS, but for the moment no :(

A completely offline (and more complicated) solution would be decompressing the file with dejsonlz4, and then copying all the links with the Mark tab in the Find dialog displayed by Notepad++.

Maybe Notepad++? I use it for editing text files when I need more than just Notepad but not heavy-duty stuff.

Notepad++ - Great open-source feature-rich text/code editor.
