Notepad++ has become a staple in my coding workflow (as a college student studying IT) for a couple of years before I started trying out VS Code, or Visual Studio Code. Nowadays, while I use VS Code for coding, I mostly just use NPP to edit my text files.
So, for both writing and editing text files as well as coding, what are your thoughts on Notepad++ and how well does it deliver as both a text editor and for writing code?
Love it. Just please improve the update process. It’s incredibly annoying and inconvenient to have to click through multiple dialog boxes, then close and reopen the program just to upgrade and get to work. Make it seamless in the background or upon exit and not startup. It’s especially irritating when I’m opening np++ just to jot something down quickly, it defeats the purpose.
