Seriously, just stop (or use Linux)
If for some reason youโ€™re stuck on windows, might I recommend notepad++ ?
But also beware as notepad++ has had a security breach recently.
So has everything.
A text editor shouldnโ€™t be having security breaches.
Neither should Windows, itself. But here we are. And have been for some time.
Technically it was the server for updates that got breached, not the editor itself.
Kate is great and available for Windows, too!
