Each release has a message on what he believes in: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news
Earlier quoted context omitted.
He was targeted, and beheaded, for showing Mohammed drawings on class (above it sounds like “a victim”, not the victim).
By what metric was Samuel not the victim? Is it against the law in France to share offensive religious imagery? Is the legal punishment beheading by vigilante?
I was blown when I discovered column mode. I think I learnt to think about editing as an operation through it. It's carried forward to my vim usage now as well. I've seen Devs not make maximum use of these features and while I do respect their choices, I have to (embarrassingly) admit, it annoys me. I don't show it of course, but whenever a junior comes to me and asks me how I type fast or how I use so many shortcuts I make sure I take the time to teach them.
I owe that paradigm largely to Notepad++. Owe the dev a lot.
I have been using n++ more than 10 years, and just now I've noticed that each release has some social or political message.
That was an interesting version, because afterwards the dev was hacked by people who disagreed with his message. He then had to face the fact people who endorsed what he saw as terrorism used his open-source product.
"I will always find a way to distribute Notepad++ “Je suis Charlie” edition - that’s my freedom of expression which I claim as my right."

Notepad++ is a superb program.
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

“The murderer Mohammed Bouyeri, an Islamic extremist, killed van Gogh. The reason for murdering Gogh was to oppose the controversial film which criticised Islam: “Submission”. Bouyeri shot and stabbed van Gogh, then cut his throat. Finally the killer attached a 5 letter page to van Gogh's chest with a knife.“

“Bouyeri had told the court he had acted out of religious conviction. Clutching a copy of the Koran, he said that "the law compels me to chop off the head of anyone who insults Allah and the prophet"”
What was in the letter: it “threatened Somali-born Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She had written the script for Van Gogh's controversial film Submission, which criticised the treatment of women under Islam.”
(Completely unrelated to that event, the killed artist’s great-great uncle was Vincent van Gogh.)
