Vim VS notepad-plus-plus

There have been six releases of Vim _this week_. So, no, Vim is not "dead".

Vim

We wanted this machine to be as lean as possible. There is only so much memory and processing power to go around. Remember, our machine has 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 processor with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. We also wanted as much of that space and power to be used for serving up our web applications. However, we also wanted to have an additional option for editing any code files, in addition to vim.

Vim: winget install vim.vim

So Raylib library could be your best option. Let's code, just open your text editor like vim or VSCodium in your Windows, Linux or Mac computer and let's build our indie game with Raylib library, no extra dependencies are needed.

nevermind, after a little searching, I found the solution, this isn't 'a nvchad problem or neovim problem, but a vim problem, and this github issue explains it. In the bottom of the issue, someone did post a fix here, but I haven't really tried it.

Then I went to official vim GitHub and looked around and it also had only instruction for installing vim from scratch.

When you said Vim, I thought you were talking about Vim (a code editor). Clearly not haha

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.
