textadept VS Notepad3

- Textadept: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept

Or "Geany IDE" on desktop environment (while waiting for lapce.dev to get better), I tend to stay away as much as possible from VS Codium, but everyone else seems to love it and already forgot about Atom, few seems to realise how Microsoft really is.

Maybe the plot twist is that you have to accept in your heart that "writing text on anything, is the real IDE", and transcend to writing on nano!

For support try here

Looks interesting. Especially in terms of its customisability, this reminds me a bit of Textadept, another Lua-based editor: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/

Textadept has both TUI and GUI, and is Free Software: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/

The way it works is that its creator made a TUI implementation if the GUI library he used for the graphical version, so you have the same menus etc.

Textadept -https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/ - does this out of the box but I couldn't get on with it.

I use Notepad3 to stay as close to vanilla as possible but to fix the idiotic drawbacks of Windows Notepad.

Notepad3 is actively maintained and has many improvements, BTW.

The current, active continuation is Notepad3: https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3

I prefer the lighter replacements (notepad2, notepad3, metapad) on Windows, simply because Notepad++ seems to always have something to update when I start it on a server. Otherwise it's fine, but not a CLI editor.

Already using notepad3 on my systems but that doesn't help when remoting to somewhere else.

If you run into any other issues they have an active github https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues and the developer seems to fix things quickly.
