It seams that neither Kate, nor KWrite (nor Sublime Text which I also I've some experience with) has ability to show various nonstandart hidden symbols. Newlines and other stuff Notepad++ hides in View/Show Symbol menu. I don't need it that often, but when I need it, it's a lifesaver, because problems related to that are incredibly pesky. So... I added Notepad++ on Wine and I'm still in search for my perfect text editor.
#LinuxJourney #NotepadPlusPlus #InvisibleSymbols
Wenn jemand #NotepadPlusPlus für #Linux so richtig gut forken würde, hätte ich immer noch nichts dagegen.
Nicht Visual Studio Code (zu gross), nicht Sublime (closed source $), nicht VIM (ist VIM). Was ich brauche:
- Suchen/Ersetzen auch mit RegEx
- Zeige alle Zeilen der Suchresultate
- Textbausteine ("snippets")
- Syntax-Highlighting zumindest für Alltägliches (js, html ...)

Si vous utilisez Notepad++, pensez à vérifier votre version : la 8.9.6.2 corrige plusieurs vulnérabilités, dont certaines pouvant mener à l’exécution de code arbitraire.

Un attaquant pourrait tirer parti de fichiers de configuration ou de raccourcis spécialement modifiés pour faire exécuter des commandes à notre insu dans certains scénarios

Un PoC public circule déjà, ce qui réduit le délai entre la divulgation et les tentatives d’exploitation opportunistes.

Any #Linux text editor that has the features for marking found lines, and modifying them (like copying, removing, and cutting), just like in #NotepadPlusPlus?

NotepadNext and Kate doesn't even have them.

FosseryWeb progress report:
I searched for some form creation services which allows file uploads (for the cheatsheet submission form coming in the next big update), found Formstr, which is a decentralized form creation tool, using the Nostr protocol:

I also recreated last year's User Survey, with some minor modifications:

(Unfortunately it doesn't work without JavaScript though, similar to all the other privacy-respecting options I looked at, but if you know any other service which works without JS, let me know, I'll take a look at it)
I also migrated the sites from the old Codeberg Pages server to the new git-pages. The domains didn't change, you should still be able to access the sites as usual. In fact, they seems to load much faster now. But let me know if you have any issues accessing them.
