I really, really wish I could run this program natively on macOS.

Previously I had a windows computer for work (though I am a mac user generally) and this is the only thing I miss since I managed to get a mac for work.

I know there are plenty of text editors available but Notepad++ just ticks all the right boxes for a simple text editor.

Edit: CrossOver for mac (fancy version of wine) is way cheap than I thought (30 quid), so I've bought that. Hello Notepad++ :)

For those out of the loop - Samuel Paty was a middle-school teacher in [redacted] who was murdered in the October 16 terror attack in [redacted]. More information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Samuel_Paty

Murdered? Pacified is the word you are looking for.

I'm happy with TextMate. Has a lot more features than Notepad++, too.

Maybe the author doesn't want to "steal" the 30% of the Apple's future Mac AppStore revenue...

I don’t think I’ve ever quite fully appreciated N++‘a array of features.

What features do you find really help your workflow and how do you find it compares to Sublime Text in that regard?
