      I’m a vim fan as well, once I figured out how pasting worked (not just yanking and putting, using the system clipboard) I couldn’t use anything else.

        Is that like an ad for vim?

        Just get past the point when you learn copy paste, the real one using clipboard then wow then you will be so hooked

        Yeah I’m intrigued but it sounds like a hard pass then

    I really don’t want AI. Can’t it just be a regular notepad? Or a regular calculator? I’m a human and I want to do human things not be replaced by a machine. I want the software to serve me.

    Since leaning about notepad++ I have not used the notepad. Sad to see there is now another reason not to launch notepad.

      On Windows, I switched from Notepad to Notepad++. When I switched to Linux, I tried using Notepadqq, which is just a Notepad++ fork with Linux support. But then I realized that Kate is actually miles ahead of Notepad++/qq.

      I have zero clue how well it works on Windows, but I highly recommend trying it based on my Linux experience. Notepad++ and Kate are both FOSS either way, so you can’t go wrong if you end up preferring or not preferring it.

      Im a Sublime Text fan, I think their UI is cleaner than NP++ and I get a lot of milage out of the regex find/replace feature.

        Me too. The multi-line select and edit feature has been a godsend so frequently. I use NP++ plenty too but I find Sublime far more useful out of the box and especially when I’m bouncing between Linux, macOS, Windows; it’s nice to have a consistent text editor across all platforms.

        However I also use micro a lot if I’m just using the shell. It’s like Sublime but in the terminal and not proprietary too! Perfect for when you’re SSHing into servers and don’t want nano or vi. Best part, micro is a static binary so you can curl/wget it and spin it up straight away.

    I mean, don’t look now but you’re using Windows.

    Ssshhh - don’t look. It’ll get suspicious.
