That’s nice of them. Does it have ads yet?
i use notepad to save shitty ascii art in .txt format. if i wanted autocorrect and spellchecking i have like 500 apps i can use.
Boo, keep is simple and basic.
Ugh… Way to ruin the best IDE on Windows.
Maybe it’s just me, but I have no desire for autocorrect on the computer. I want the letters I type to be exactly the letters that are entered, and I’m perfectly capable of typing words on a full sized keyboard. It makes sense for a phone where the keyboard is small and you can’t feel the keys.
Man, I’m dyslexic and a writer, so I thought that autocorrect would be really useful.
So, there’s an autocorrect available on Linux, and it does work.
But it is way more of a pain in the ass than a help. With an on screen keyboard, doing swipe typing, I don’t need autocorrect because I have the qwerty layout memorized, and can just make the patterns that make the words, and screwups are rare enough I don’t care. So I keep it off.
But dealing with it on pc? I really thought it would help, but it’s in the way. It made things harder to process. I make less mistakes that need correcting just typing in my semi-huntnpeck way via keyboard than having the program interfering.
Like, I’m the perfect use case for autocorrect, and it isn’t worth a damn.
It’s an optional feature, so no harm having it.
You are correct. No-one makes mistakes on full size keyboards.
This is outrageous, I’m switching to Linux. Arch, in case you were wondering.
Luckily I run an old version of notepad under wine
“It looks like youʼre copying text from a copyrighted source. Would you like me to get a quote from the Microsoft Store for a license?”
Have they added syntax highlighting yet? Every time I use it I’m amazed that it’s like the only text editor without syntax highlighting I know about
Apple’s built-in TextEdit is more fully-featured than Notepad but doesn’t have syntax highlighting.
Still amazed that Microsoft Word can’t handle blocks of source code - that’s supposed to be the full-featured one…
It’s not just system wide yet? What?
Better late than never, I guess.
I thought they were retiring Wordpad?
Does it even have IA?
no, iowa is not included in notepad.
