Notepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement), which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment. This project, based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component), written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under the GPL Licence.

A sure keeper, but doesn't open fast enough on a 3800+ to be a notepad replacement. = (

<3's Notepads less then half a second starts.

Try Notedpad2. I use it as a notepad replacement... just as fast to load. It has fewer features than Notepad++ but many more than the regular notepad.

Has the autoupdater ever worked for anyone? :/

Never worked here, and the option to check for updates crashes (under vista) as it requires the app to be ran with admin credentials, something I don't want to do for two reasons, first being it shouldn't need admin privileges and second i would have to click through the UAC dialogue every time I run it :( And no I don't want to disable UAC on my system :)

That said however, this is a brilliant app.

Cool. Thanks Elite.

I have been using Notepad++ to maintain several websites and wondered if you, or anyone, knows how to configure it so that I could have either

1) multiple instance open (each with a set of files it will remember for the next time)

or

2) multiple profiles within the one instance so I can quickly switch between sets of files

Maybe this bit of info will help you:

In this version, user can make Notepad++ have the same behaviour as MS Notepad (ie. multi-instance and no tabbed interface) by adding a file with zero length named asNotepad.xml.

Thanks for the response Avi. Maybe I did not explain clearly but I do very much like the tabbed interface (where each tab is a different document). However, I would like to have multiple instances of NP++ where each instance has its own set of tabs containing the group of documents for that particular project.

Does that make sense?

Maybe this bit of info will help you:

Good idea. Done - Request ID: 1934998

Sorry to drag up an old post, but I thought this might be of help for others who googled "notepad++ multiple instances".

Add "-multiInst" to the Notepad++ shortcut.

For instance,

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -multiInst

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
