Notepad++ is a free, open-source text editor developed by Don Ho for Windows. It is designed for programmers and web developers, and is widely used in software development. It features syntax highlighting for many languages, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, and PHP. It also supports plugins, allowing users to customize the editor according to their needs. Notepad++ has a range of features, including the ability to search and replace text, auto-completion, line bookmarking, bracket matching, customizable keyboard shortcuts, and customizable syntax highlighting. It supports many file formats, including plain text, HTML, XML, and PHP. Notepad++ is regularly updated and has a strong community of users and developers who contribute to the project.
It is fast and has powerful editing features. The usability and UX of the sublime text are simply outstanding.
It has all the features I need without having to install more than a few extensions.
Another simple tool reimplemented on the extremely swollen electron frame. No thanks.
Very nice and new software for source code editing with many features.
Editor increíblemente potente y versátil. Con el sentimiento de un editor y el poder de un IDE.
What should be a simple application is implemented in the extremely bloated Electron framework. No thanks, I'll stick with something native.
Atom is not liviano like Notepad ++
Although it is sometimes very demanding (for a text editor), it is good as an editor / IDE.
Vim is a console application and requires knowledge of its commands to use it, while Notepad ++ is a user interface, anyone can use it.
Serves the same purpose, similar features, different approach, cross-platform, ubiquitous.
I like using the command line version of vim on Windows, it feels quite minimalistic and its appearance gives the impression that it goes straight to text editing work.
Geany in functionality and interface is very similar to Notepad ++.
Simple, lightweight. But there is syntax highlighting and code completion.
Free, lightweight, cross-platform, open source, customizable - what more do you want?
Stop making text editors in electron. It's disgusting.
lacks many notepad +++ features
There is no FTP that works like NpFTP.
Gedit can't fold code, can't do ID lines, and ID is weird!
regular expressions are not ordered and not reconized when 'replaced' or searched for
Some essential plug-ins are missing, especially around the code formatting tools
Excellent syntax highlighting and good plugin support. Fast and easy to use.
Kate is a fast, lightweight, open source alternative to Notepad++ with a sleek, simple and modern user interface. Compared to Notepad ++, it is also available on Linux, not just Windows.
Emacs is the end-all text editor. It takes a little while to learn, but its code and text editing commands are extremely powerful. There is also a package manager for things like auto-completion, auto-run and more language support.
More stable with huge files. Implemented a great feature in special conversions: "Remove Accent from characters".
Excellent application, notepad ++ sometimes crashes and deletes file content (editing), PSPad does not have this problem.
This is just an excellent tool to use when viewing text files. The file comparison tool works brilliantly to identify differences between files. The interface is clean and customizable. You can find all instances of a string and use them to navigate through the file. You can also export that list to a new document. There are too many cool features to list. Give it a try and see what you think.
Discontinued The program is no longer updated. The latest version, 4.2.25, released on October 28, 2012, can still be downloaded from the official website.
Small and easy to use, supports syntax highlighting
It's a good alternative, but they should make eyelashes!
For those looking to replace the user interface and functionality of Notepad++ with a similar editor but on Linux, this is by far the most similar to Notepad++. The other alternatives are similar in the sense that they are code/text editors, but not that they look and work the same.
Excellent editor. Almost the same user interface as Notepad ++.
Notepad2-mod is built with the same Scintilla engine as Notepad++ but with a lighter feature set. It is great if you want a very fast lightweight viewer/editor with some nice extras (syntax highlighting, word completion, line sorting, etc.), but not a full-fledged programming editor.
A simpler version of Notepad++. It supports all the jazz you'll need: syntax highlighting, it's smart with tabs, bulk renaming, etc. No macros, however.
