Good thing notepad++ sucks
What do you use?
Vim if I need it fast, vscodium if I am going to be doing something for a while and can spare the ram, emacs if I'm bored.
GNU Nano when you need to take a break from the world.
Plain old vi when you find yourself trapped in Motorola PowerPC-based SysV POSIX hell and just need to tweak a hostname in a text file and oh my fucking god why is it recompiling the fucking kernel again
Vscode. I realize text editors really just come down to personal preference but personally I would prefer to use almost anything other than notepad++
When I have to use a text editor on windows it's either notepad or helix in a terminal
Sublime Text is the closest thing while looking a lot better and implementing modern UI elements like a fuzzy finder popup.
Just use a real editor like (from easy to hard): VSCode, vim/neovim, (doom) emacs.
I alternate between notepadqq and GNU nano depending on if I need superuser perms to edit the relevant file.
Neovim or Helix. VSCodium if you need a GUI
