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
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
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
I've preferred using metapad for many years. Source: about 2 years ago
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
Have a look at Kate, its not bad and has good support for LSPs https://kate-editor.org. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Maybe there are power features or something which makes Notepad++ better, but for my usage Kate (https://kate-editor.org/) fits the same niche. Fast startup / UI, but it has enough features to technically be an IDE (including an LSP apparently). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
The Arduino IDE is quite primitive though, and poorly suited for larger or complex projects - if it starts getting in my way I'll feed my project to kate and a makefile. Source: 12 months ago
Kate - a very powerful, very fearure-rich (including language server support for IDE-quality code completion and analysis and error checking for most mainstream languages) alternative to VS Code (has a very similar layout, git integration, and command pallette) that's much faster and lighter and isn't from Microsoft (it's FLOSS).
