Notepad++ works fine on Wine on Mac and Linux. After being away from it from awhile, I realized I don't need it anymore. I would often use the column edit mode and recorded macros, but I just bash script those now. I guess I'm a different person now?!?
so many people nostalgic for a text editor.
yeah it was my go to editor for code in ye olden days of programming and using windows.
i knew i recognized the name somewhere earlier today when i learned about it, but i couldn't remember how until i saw this; i was forced to use it because of windows a while back.
i remember liking it too.
