notepadqq VS sublime_text

You could give notepadqq a try, it is very close in look in feel to notepad++. I don't know if extensions/plugins would be compatible, though.

Not cross platform as the program is written for the win32 API, notepadqq is an okay replacement for it on Linux though.

Even though Notepad++ works pretty well with wine as far as I know, I would like to refer to https://notepadqq.com/. Visually, the editor is as close as possible to Notepad++.

Take a look at Notepad qq it is meant to be a notepad ++ replacement https://notepadqq.com

Sublime Text: Sublime Text is a lightweight and fast text editor known for its speed and simplicity. It offers a wide range of plugins and customization options, making it suitable for Python development when paired with the right plugins.

Sublime is a massive improvement in my opinion, and cross platform. It's not free but you can use a personal license at work and on multiple machines.

This phase requires you to learn the basics of the PHP language, deeply understanding its syntax, features, and design patterns, including variables, data types, functions, classes and objects, namespaces, etc. From variables to classes, progressively deepen your understanding of PHP's core knowledge. It's advisable to combine the official PHP documentation and online tutorials to build a solid foundation. Resources and tools to consider: PHP official documentation, PHP manual, online tutorials, PHPStorm, and other Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Consider practicing basic coding with PHPStorm and Sublime Text.

The format of the test files themselves is inspired by the relatively new initiative by the Sublime Text team when they introduced a new grammar file format called Sublime Syntax and – more importantly – a way to unit test grammars. It’s using some lovely human-friendly magic comments that allow to specify what scopes should the grammar file produce for a given position on a given line.
