To be honest, the thing that tied me to Notepad++ was the vertical selection.
That does Notepadqq too.
I didn’t really use sysntax higlighting.
Notepadqq has lots of customizations on shortcut keys, etc… so playing with them you may get closer to what you got used to.
I always opened any file with “open with” (from MATE’s file manager, Caja context menu) and select Notepadqq when specifically needed Notepadqq.
That works for hidden files too.
