notepad-plus-plus VS qBittorrent

Whenever I need to live on a Windows system for any length of time, I install [notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org)

Do you prefer Notepad3 over Notepad++, and can you share why if so?

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.

So, the only option left is to use regular expressions. You need a text editor that can "Find" and "Replace" using them - my choice is Notepad++ (for Windows people like me - shortcut Ctrl+H).

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.

Notepad ++ is similar to notepad but has a lot more features. There are more features but different colored text and the ability to search are a couple examples. And it's free.

TXT stands for text, and that's not what you open with Excel. TXT can be opened by notepad, Notapad++ or on Linux simply use cat.

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.

Not really. qBittorent is built on Qt (thus the prefix), and has a hand-rolled webui in pure html + css + js (with a couple of helper libraries, but no heavy frameworks):

Use this. Just google how to on ytube.

I’ve used qbittorrent for the last few years. Had no problems with it

Torrenting clients - qBittorrent still supports Win7 if you select the qt5 variant. For people that do not know what qBittorrent is - it is uTorrent, just without bloatware, ads, malware and such. It's open-source. UPDATE: it dropped Win7 support in October. ;_; (quick, somebody make a fork! https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/ ) - here's the last downloadable Win7 version - https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent-old.html?dwl=qbittorrent_4.5.5_lt20_qt5_x64_setup.exe (but hey, I'm still downloading torrents fine in under WinXP 32-bit via the ancient uTorrent 2.2.1, so this version of qBittorrent might last for 10+ years for Win7...)

.........What download manager are you using there? Whatever it is, stop and uninstall it like yesterday. Get this https://www.qbittorrent.org/ and try again.

qBittorrent announces Tailscale IPs that are practically never connectable. I believe it's a bug so I reported it to qBit.
