• NotepadNext – a cross-platform, reimplementation of Notepad++

  I used to use Metapad at times, apart from (mainly) gVim, on Windows. https://liquidninja.com/metapad/ Development on it has stopped, IIRC, but it is still available for download. I had used many other text editors earlier, such as TextPad, NPP, PFE,etc., over the years . - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  Metapad is a nice replacement for Notepad, with a few extra useful features, but don't know if it has the feature you refer to. Likely not, because work in it stopped a while ago. But it is still available. I had used it for some years. Still may in future. https://liquidninja.com/metapad/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Can you recommend me a fast, light text editor for Windows?

  Back in my windows days, I used Metapad for this(https://liquidninja.com/metapad/). I even changed the notepad.exe file to metapad. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What programs are "must-haves" on a new pc?

  I've preferred using metapad for many years. Source: about 2 years ago

• i'm going to alias vi to nano on all our production servers

  I prefer the lighter replacements (notepad2, notepad3, metapad) on Windows, simply because Notepad++ seems to always have something to update when I start it on a server. Otherwise it's fine, but not a CLI editor. Source: over 2 years ago
