I've been using Notepad2-mod as my default text editor for a very long time. It has syntax highlighting for many languages and many other features. Source: over 2 years ago

You could install Notepad2-mod and replace every blank line with a space:. Source: about 3 years ago

Are you using a text editor that supports monospace and syntax highlighting? If not, have a look at Notepad2, Notepad++, or even VSCode if you're feeling adventurous. Source: about 3 years ago

You can replace "::" in the code for more optional features/settings. I would recommend installing Notepad 2 mod to delete (Ctrl+h and replace "::" with nothing) them faster. Source: about 3 years ago

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
