Notepad++ is awesome! kudos to the developer, one of those must have replacements on windows 😉👍
Multi-edit is huge. It's literally THE reason why I use sublime text from time to time.
I frequently copy text from NP++ to sublime. do a multi edit, then copy it back over multiple times a day.
Genuine question, why use both Sublime and NP++?
Multi-edit?
Why bother with NP++ if you already own sublime, which is arguably equivalent or better, is my question. I use Sublime and I am wondering what feature could be missing to justify still having NP++ installed.
I don’t own sublime.
But even if I did I prefer it over sublime most of the time. Hence copying stuff into it, multi editing, then copying it back over.
From just the little things like NP++ actually supporting windows 11s right click menu, to liking notepads find and replace options better. To stupid things like I think sublime is ugly as hell. Which really says something with how basic NP++ looks.
Can you use Sublime in evaluation mode?
Yes and there’s virtually no limitations. Every other time you’d hit save you’d get a “please buy me” message, but I think even that’s gone now in later versions of sublime.
