I quit using np++ some years ago when he did a fake April 1 update, but maybe some people still use it.
State-sponsored hackers, well whatever.

Try https://zed.dev
I quote from the website:
Deserve it if it is true LOL.
Thank you for sharing. Its new to me
It looks interesting, and I think I will give it a try.
I'll take a look but I jumped to SublimeText when the np++ dev annoyed me and I'm pretty happy with it.
I read this too but discounted it due to the misspellings.
gvim is better than all of them
EDIT: inb4 if you can figure out how to quit it
Now it's my favorite with Google Pro API.
Everything about this feels like “our website got hacked and the IPs resolved to China.” It “wasn’t the notepad++ code” well yeah, that’s not the code that runs the site 😂
notepad-- is a better alternative.
Oh noooooo Taiwaaaaaaaan!
I'm still using a version from 2021, so I guess I'm safe.
I should probably update.
The dev is overly political...
Political virtue signaling gets met with actual political treatment, who could've seen it coming.
yikes I use notepad++ is the editor ok to use? looks like just the website and not the code
Provider in question is Hostinger. The domain has been resolving to Hostinger IPs for the past 3 years.
OK, I have just 1 qestion.
In all things that came to light in the past days, what the heck, it's HACK season open?
I apologize to the developer for making assumptions. He's clearly a pro.
any tldr? How to check if im affected?
They can’t even spell check their news post. Tells me all I needed to know. Time to use an alternative staffed by more competent people.
Anyone knows an alternative with tabs and a functionality of notepad++ to save a session without saving files itself?

Forgot to mention that I'm looking for FOSS alternative.
Zed.dev was recommended. Take a look.
Notepad--
https://github.com/cxasm/notepad--
$99 for a personal licence - good for 3 years of updates.
That is for one computer or can be used on serveral (with the same licence)?
Looks a bit pricy either way.
I gave Zed editor a try. No PHP syntax marking from the box (extension must be used to add it), will see.
Kate is good for Linux, on Windows it doesn't play nicely with right_ALT+V and some other YU latin keyboard layout stuff.
😍
Thanks. I've been using Notepad++ since forever... but this looks really nice so far.

sublimetext is free. It offers a fully functional trial with no time limit
You can simply close the popup reminder asking you to purchase a license every time you start the editor.
