    I think this (notepad as text/plain xdg opener) happened by default in certain versions of Ubuntu when you installed WINE.

    Oh geez... I had no idea what a heinous crime I had committed. Never use it anymore, but yeah I installed it. I'll go clean that mess up now. Thanks for the FYI, guys.

    There are plenty of arrow key unimodal editors for Linux. No idea what reason anyone would have to do this.

    @SystemZ But is Gedit > Notepad++ || Gedit == Notepad++ ?

    @thremedy That's something entirely different. In contrast to Notepad, Notepad++ has features.

    Btw. there is NotepadQQ which is being developed as a Linux alternative for Notepad++.

    @Navigatr I'd argue that Notepad++ is a bit more versatile than Gedit, because it has a lot more plugins (at least when comparing the default plugin sources).

    @lazyProgrammer Vim is not an alternative to Notepad. Vim is an alternative to Visual Studio.

    But notpad in wine in Linux in a VM on windows. How does that sound?

    @Rr42 Like a sign of the upcoming apocalypse.

    I'll let myself out.

    Seems legit...
    BECAUSE YOU CAN.

    If you don't agree, please start non-native kate or kwriter on Windows right now.
