NotepadNext

With all this discussion about Notepad++ finally being ported to Mac, I thought I’d drop a link to a previous attempt at a “port” that I’d heard of. Notepad Next: https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext It’s a (still work in progress) cross platform re-implementation of Notepad++. It also predates agentic coding, if that’s something that concerns you.

My "Notepad++ for Mac" so far has been NotepadNext (https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext). I will give this one a try as well, and wish them best of luck. I hope they release the Linux version as well.

There is also NotepadNext which is oddly similar, sans the Lua: https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext

Check out NotepadNext ( https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext ) and Notepadqq ( https://notepadqq.com/s/ ), albeit last one is not maintained anymore. SublimeText is of course the most lightweight alternative, if you don't mind commercial software.

Notepad++ will work with wine, and there's https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext Google says there are options for autohotkey too, although some are works in progress: https://github.com/Paris/IronAHK / https://github.com/poa00/ahk.keysharp/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/autokey/autokey https://linux.die.net/man/7/xautomation http://sikulix.com/ https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11 https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd

I believe you have proved my point that you're speaking of very niche examples. Even Sublime Text won't load a 100GB instantly on a normal machine. And I consider it a very well-made app. While of course there might be apps that will load such files instantly, they are highly optimized for such a task. My point is that Qt is more than enough to replace all those Electron, and other web-based apps, while performing as good or even better than native apps. At the end of the day, Qt can also be just a wrapper for your highly optimized engine - for example, NotepadNext[1] is using the very performant Scintilla engine while its UI is written in Qt. From my (unscientific) tests, it's even vastly faster than Sublime Text. BTW, I'm not saying that rendering and creating your own UI is always a bad idea. Many people do it because it's fun and cha

:*( > Plugin compatibility between NN and N++ is not possible. https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext/issues/422 Shame, since N++'s plugin ecosystem holds quite the treasure trove of functionality. https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/blob/mast...
