One thing that is worth paying attention to is the localization: if you want the interface in another language, you can adjust that even before you get into the program.Īfter starting it up, you'll be greeted by a functional interface, without any design flourishes.
The installation process is business-as-usual, as the wizard guides users through everything. Notepad++ is a third-party alternative to the built-in solution, and per its name, it aims to provide a more refined, feature-packed experience, replete with various editing tools to smoothen one's workflow, as well as a code editor functionality. Granted, the built-in Notepad is serviceable and gets the job done, but what if there was a better, supercharged alternative of sorts?
Drag the application into the Dockĭo script "/usr/local/bin/wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Notepad++/notepad++.The market for word processors is plenty filled, and there's only so much you can innovate for your program to stand above the rest. Launch ‘Script Editor’ from the launch-pad and paste this code. If you want to use the application often – you can create a shortcut for launching it from the dock. Note: now all shortcuts behave as though it is a native windows application – You need to remap your mind again for all those shortcuts!! $wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe
application should have got installed in the folder "~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Notepad++" Step 2: Install ‘wine’ to enable the magicįrom the ‘Terminal’ – execute the below command –įollow through the instructions and complete the installation – this is the all familiar windows installer. Step 1: Get homebrew package manager if you already do not have itįollow the instructions on-screen to complete the installation Is it worth the effort? What are the challenges? Let’s looks at the second one – how do we get notepad++ on macOS?. Sublime Text (requires license), Atom (not feature rich as notepad++), Visual Studio Code(bulky for a text editor), TextEdit (like the WordPad in windows). (2) lack of ‘cool’ apps – notepad++, etc. You will be forced to learn most shortcuts.Īnd – the ‘butterfly’ keyboard itself (the ‘tuk-tuk’ keyboard – noise all around) rants on this requires another blog post altogether!! (1) different keyboard layout – it is not very simple – you cannot directly replace in your mind-map – ‘command’ with ‘windows’ key’, ‘option’ with ‘alt’ and ‘control’ with ‘Ctrl’.
Switching from Windows to macOS became a true challenge initially.
