It is a console-based fullscreen text editor with a pseudo-GUI. It's nothing like the good old EDLIN.COM from DOS, a true line editor. The MS DOS Editor under MS-DOS was actually written into QBASIC and required QBASIC.EXE to be present. It had a size limit of about 64KB, I hope this one hasn't. Additionally, will ìt run only under Windows 11?
I still like Notepad, the classic version, not the Windows 11 version. Otoh, this may be a nice text based editor for linux, no x-windows or other graphical desktop needed.
Me too, IF it could be set to dark mode. The win 11 version has dark mode but i keep forgetting to save the tabs instead of just closing the entire editor and expecting the question to save my work
What, you mean it doesn't offer to save with multiple tabs and changes exist? I never noticed, but then I very seldom use Notepad, and pretty much never use it for writing. I have .txt files set to open in the editor of my choice (gvim), but some applications ignore the windows settings and automatically use notepad -- which irritates me, but what are you gonna do?
Like notepad++ it just closes and when you open it again the tabs are still present but the legacy notepad doesn't have tabs and at closing it asks to save your work.
For Notepad++, you can disable this behavior (uncheck "Remember last session for next launch" in the settings under "Backup").
well, linux has a perfectly adequate text editor in gedit.so;why bother?? and rust?? to quote wikipedia; Rust was adopted by companies including Amazon, Discord, Dropbox, Google (Alphabet), Meta, and Microsoft. so;all the wrong ones in a bunch. and i do not trust those august companies any further than i can throw them. at least you could trust the trusty old dos edit tool not to phone home every 5 seconds;it was incapable of it. seems to me like m$ is reinventing the wheel again. just my 2 cents.
