[Solved] Notepad3 v3.18.131.862 versus Notepad2 4.2.25 / 5.0.26 Beta 4

Message to the Administrators of NSANE :

 

As "Notepad2" (updated on 28-10-2012) is no longer really maintained and its successor "Noptepad3" (updated on 31-01-2018) is really very wel followed by its author.

I suggest to [Frontpaged] "Noptepad3" instead of "Noptepad2".

You may consider that the successor but many people consider the often updated Notepad Plus Plus as THE notepad replacement.

I agree with you "Notepad++" is a very powerful and very complex "FREE Notepad Replacer".   

 

Let say, you may consider "Notepad3" as an "Intermediate "FREE Notepad Replacer". 

With Notepad3 the aim of the author is to create :  

• A true Notepad-like single document interface for our daily work with small scripts and files.
• A fast and light-weight Scintilla-based text editor with syntax highlighting.
• A small memory footprint, but is powerful enough to handle most programming jobs.
• A replacing the default Windows Notepad using a clean, unobtrusive registry-based method.
• But can also be installed along-side Windows Notepad.

I use both, of course in different PC's.

Notepad3 is now already listed on FP in replacement of Notepad2. Thanks to hpwamr for recommending it.
