Ok found an editor that doesnt insert unecessary tabbing issues.

I was kidding bugs I dont normally get because notepadqq kept inserting three extra tab spaces.

Notepad++ -> Notepadqq

Falls du es dennoch probieren willst, könntest du es selbst bauen mit den Sourcen aus GIT.
github.com/notepadqq/no...

Mein Sohn hat es über pacman gemacht, aber als aur-package von hier:
aur.archlinux.org/packages/not...

Klar. Mit Syntaxhighlighting, wie Notepad++ auch.

Eine Alternative dafür in Linux wäre notepadqq.
Ist sehr ähnlich von den Funktionen her.

sudo apt install notepadqq

There is an equivalent: Notepadqq 😉

I still think it's the height of comedy to have chat stuff set up to display my current work-coded software as a video game. My friends need to know I'm doing spreadsheets in LibreOffice. They need to know I'm making a website with Notepadqq. I'm Zooming with my uncle.

... oh, also NotepadQQ is too unstable to use. So I miss Notepad++, which was something I used daily.

Seems my intended Notepad++ replacement (Notepadqq) is buggy. Three crashes within a minute of launch, is not reliable. Sad.

*uninstalls*

U tried notepadqq?

The one provided by your desktop environment (xed, gedit, kwrite, mousepad, etc.) is probably good enough, but you could try Notepadqq if you want something that's more familiar to what you used before.

(And prompted by this, I'm just installing Notepadqq. Will see.)
October 21, 2025 at 1:31 PM
Is this notepadqq.com any good?
Notepadqq
notepadqq.com

That feeling when you realize notepadqq isn't notepad++ :( I guess diff will do

notepadqq has more-or-less been abandoned, but it's still a fairly good alternative to notepad++.

a big frustration when i started on linux 3 months ago was the lack of a replacement for notepad++, and notepadQQ didnt work as it kept crashing

.....then i learned "sublime text" existed and im in love wiht it

It's becoming a bigger blur as time goes on. I get a PTSD seizure just looking at code now.

Moving to Linux certainly eased stresses you get from running Windows!

I never use it but Notepadqq is the closest to Textpad I've found on Linux.

Je confirme

Avec notepadQQ

J'avais oublié geany, qui est proche

Notepadqq en remplacement
October 18, 2025 at 8:12 AM
...
this isn't actually the best idea as notepadqq hasn't been updated for *checks release notes* 7 years

huh

@jwisser I dont code, but when I lie about being a coder on mastodon, I say I use notepadqq

I use it for a bunch of non-programming text stuff. But its similar to Notepad++ which seems pretty well-regarded by programmers

Davinci Resolve, OBS, Reaper, Handbrake, Photopea, GNOME Screenshot, and Notepadqq.

7 months on Fedora now
