Ah, I forgot to address that. Yes, quick, dirty, notes -- all day long. So features which enhance that -- such as adjustable tab-stops have been needed from the very beginning. Even a VT100 doesn't enforce eight-space TAB stops!
Anyway, other than simple notes, I also use Notepad for XML, HTML, and simple C# utilities -- and the existing TAB functionality hinders all off that. Not a big deal, but irksome when I naturally hit TAB. And read-me files too.

Again, Notepad isn’t designed for devs. So, pay a few bucks and start using Sublime. Don’t know why devs are so cheap when it comes to software. Yeah, tab alignment is whack in Notepad, but no need to get worked up over it. Nobody shot your dog man.

It's just a nice-to-have, been using forever, and wrote my own editor which has features probably no one else wants.
Just irked that they keep adding useless crap and don't address something which would be useful.

You don't need a recent file list if you use the jump list on the taskbar icon.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|

|

Which I don't. I don't particularly want a recent file list either, but it would make more sense than the changes which were made.

Just wait 'til you see the new cmd.

"Terminal"? Yeah, I set it to console mode. It's why I want my square corners back. The round corners clip the bottom line.

notepad++ or sublime. Has had anything from Microsoft completely outclassed for at least 10+ years.
Meanwhile, Microsoft goes out and dicks with the task bar and the file explorer popup menu because.... well, just because.

You’d think MS treating us like data pawns would be the real concern. 🤣🤣

No.

Don't care, I just want simple.
I will likely install the editor (simple IDE) I wrote about ten years ago. It has (most of*) the features that I want, and nothing I don't want.
* I don't think I have a version which supports sorting selected text.

Notepad++ will do that.
Also good columnar blocking.
It's fast, not quite as snippy as notepad, but not at all slow to start and it won't freeze for 30 minutes if you open a 300MB data file.
I still use regular notepad for some quick/dirty stuff, but if they've made it soft-close that is going to become a delete/uninstall/rename the .exe or something for me most likely. Most of what I use it for are things I explicitly do not want hanging around in a notepad++ tab or anywhere else in memory.

Don't care. Not gonna use it.

At least they made it configurable.

It's a slippery slope.
The way I see it, Notepad has always been little more than a multiline textbox wrapped in an app that has save and load capabilities. For the most part, the Notepad "features" are really features of the Win32 textbox control itself.
If they start adding "just one more tiny feature", it'll end up being bloated, take forever to load (the biggest offender IMO), and a monstrosity nobody will really be happy with.
No thanks. They have VS Code for that.

From the trailer it looks as if they picked low depth, barely humorous humor for 5 year olds. But, if you be a Minecraft fan, looks like the movies based on games genre ain't dead.

Simple question. Just doing some recon.
Curious to know if anyone ever authed their web APIs with Kerberos or did permissions lookups / auth with LDAP? Personally, even though I had to work with LDAP a few times, never once I have used any version of Kerberos for even internal web APIs.
So, anyone actually use either of these two techs in the context of web APIs in the enterprise and/or for public facing web APIs?

With the suicide booth/pod, I mean...apparently it's now a thing. As the kids say today, what a time to be...alive? (ironically).
I don't know what to make of it. The article doesn't get into how it works. But it does mention it can be 3D-printed and assembled at home. How convenient.

So the only problem is someone didn't profit from the suicide. Got it. /s

I remember reading a few years ago that some states were struggling to find, let's call them, "alternative methods" to use on death row inmates, as there have been instances where their current methods have proven to be ineffective and found to be "inhumane" as they can sometimes just prolong a painful death.
These guys might have found their niche...?
