I used notepad precisely because it lacks features beyond writing text, this is such an anti feature
I think in general you can also just expect that any OS, techy or not, ships with a basic, lightweight text editor. The fact that Windows seems to want to change that is an anti-feature for the entire OS.
SublimeText might be a good next option. :)
Isn't notepad++ better?
Not if you don't use windows, or if you want a more modern looking and less busy interface, or integration with what I consider the best git GUI. I used to use N++ long ago, but after trying ST I realized it just feels clunky.
My entire work brain is in there. Hundreds of tabs none of them were ever saved. I was recently looking for something and found notes I took 2 years ago. I love it but I also get why a lot of people don't.
Personal preference. :) I use it bare bones but like having the option to extend when needed.
Not if you want less features. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I have that as well, and I'm surprised how fast and light weight it feels compared to something like VS code
