Notepad Next

 

Build Notepad Next

A cross-platform, reimplementation of Notepad++.

Though the application overall is stable and usable, it should not be
considered safe for critically important work.

There are numerous bugs and half working implementations. Pull
requests are greatly appreciated.

Installation

 

Packages are available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

Windows packages are available as an installer or a stand-alone zip
file on the release page. The installer provides additional
components such as an auto-updater and Windows context menu
integration. You can easily install it with Winget:

winget install dail8859.NotepadNext

Linux packages can be obtained by downloading the stand-alone
AppImage on the release page or by installing the flatpak by
executing:

flatpak install flathub com.github.dail8859.NotepadNext

MacOS disk images can be downloaded from the release page.

MacOS Tweaks

 

By default, MacOS enables font smoothing which causes text to appear
quite differently from the Windows version. This can be disabled
system-wide using the following command:

defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0

A restart is required for this to take effect.

Development

 

Current development is done using Visual Studio 2022 and Qt v6.2+ on
Windows. This is also known to build successfully on various Linux
distributions and macOS. Other platforms/compilers should be usable
with minor modifications.

If you are familiar with building C++ Qt desktop applications with Qt
Creator, then this should be as simple as opening src/NotepadNext.pro
and build/run the project.

If you are new to building C++ Qt desktop applications, there is a
more detailed guide here.
