I hate everything they have done to it. Give me back the old notepad that doesn’t close all of my other notepad windows when I close one, shows me the document I just tried to open instead of hiding it in a tab in some other already opened window, and didn’t reopen 50 other goddamn documents when opening just one.
As far as I know the Windows editor is just a single / stand-alone executable. If you copy notepad.exe from C:\Windows\system32 from Windows 10 I would expect it to work just fine.
Huh, when was the last time notepad got an update? It has seemed so outdated every time I’ve used windows. I wonder if it will get syntax highlighting as well soon that would be nice
While I have Notepad++ installed on my machine and appeciate its features for many use cases, I still use the plain notepad often to order thoughts, get rid of formatting etc.
Also I sometimes prefer the very slim menu etc. Notepad++ I typically use in fullscreen but if I work with a dozen of Windows in parallel, Notepad saves a lot of screen space.
I’d prefer to have the customizing options of the taskbar back like in Windows 10. Like small symbols / thin taskbar and a true “never group”. I know there are some mods but they seem to cause issues from time to time as well.
