Hope this is ok to post: In case someone is not aware, this might be worth keeping a eye out for if you use Notepad++.

The version I tested in my Win-VM (under Linux) in case I might want to use it, was taken from my old Windows install, I used the Portable version and it's from 2021, and nothing updates from the Win-VM.

I've not used Notepad++ for years. I probably have an old install file somewhere. After seeing what's happened to Notepad now I think it's time to run nano on Windows. :)

I am a long time notepad++ user on both Windows and Linux(under WINE). The latest update is January 18, 2026, so it is pretty current, and gets pretty regular updates.

Since I use the Plasma desktop in Fedora, I mostly use Kate, but you cannot beat Notepad++ for windows use. I never use notepad as it seem ancient.

I have a Windows 10 VM on Fedora and notepad++ updates when I am running it.
