About Notepad++

Notepad++ is a Windows-based and open-source software that helps businesses create and edit source codes using multiple programming languages, such as C++, Java, R, SQL, XML, Python, Pascal, JSON, and more. It enables staff members to find and replace text in files using dialog-based, incremental, and dialog-free search methodologies.

Notepad++’s built-in editing module lets team members utilize a drag-and-drop interface to insert text and numbers, set preferences, and clone documents. With the plugin communication tool, supervisors can send messages and notifications to raise queries or generate event-based commands. With the file configuration tool, users can create custom context menus, add language-specific keywords, and generate keyboard shortcuts. It also lets employees use the themes functionality to create custom formatting rules and color schemes between multiple languages.

Notepad++'s sessions functionality allows staff members to store current positions, selections, bookmarks, and languages across multiple active files. The ghost typing tool lets users launch and trigger -qn, -qt, and -qf command line arguments based auto-typing text processes.

It gives me a free scripting program to work with all types of codes. I can quickly view and evaluate the script, make necessary corrections, and then save it in the same format it was opened with.

Pros

Notepad++ is suitable for all scripting languages and can be used to write and edit all types of code, like scripts and configuration files. It is easy and free to use, which makes it a valuable asset for programmers and IT specialists in general.

Cons

Sometimes I miss the terminal feature like in Powershell or Visual Studio, where I could check the code without implementing it in the environment. Such a testing feature is almost a must-have, and because Notepad++ doesn't have it I sometimes chose other scripting solutions.

I really like that it has for most programs or programming languages already set up with all their imaginative colors... It's like to imagine what else could you ask in a notepad! The experience is that is a good tool worth going for

Pros

I like that it has it all! for all types of languages, all types of typing and as a notepad is the best, I only can wish for a better one or this one improved as assisted with AI but there could not nothing more I could ask for a good notepad

Cons

really? nothing ...is the best there and is not what I least liked but but I see as improving and I think the only improvement will be the version as with AI and new one's. Maybe the least I like is that they don't have this new versions much but what's for? So enjoy Notepad++

We have been using it for many years. We switched to notepad++ from dreamviewer. Really simplicity and placement of font sizes (being able to see more lines on a single monitor) gives us comfort

Pros

The "search in files" and "replace in files" feature is very good. File recovery is very good at keeping the file you forgot to save in memory. The "Mark" feature is also very useful. You can easily filter the source code (especially multi-line) by marking certain code snippets or functions.

Cons

More integration options can be added. The feature of automatically opening newly created files "in the following encoding" can be added. each time, we need to change the file encoding property to UTF-8 BOM.
