minus-squareᴀᴍʙɪᴠɪᴏʟᴇɴᴛ@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-220 days ago Keeps your progress if you exit without saving Supports tabs so you don’t have 5 separate notepad windows open syntax highlighting for programming languages and markdown format plugin support can handle extremely large text files (I’ve opened 50gb text files and used ctrl+f to find terms and it worked fine) superb tools for manipulating text (e.g., use reg expressions). Super easy and flexible in making mass edits. dark mode support. That alone makes it superior lol If you just need a quick window open to make a note you might actually prefer Sticky Notes over Notepad!
