Not notepad.exe, I am referring to TexPad.exe from Helios Software in the UK. It’s not free software, but very reasonably priced.
The first reason is that I am using it since 2006 in Windows. The downside of the software is that it is not ported to Linux, and their macros cannot be edited and must be recreated. But the macros are fast and accurate.
My needs are block operations on text. Each of the Linux editors have some of the features, but they are clumsily accessed and implemented. They lack the finesse and speed of a compiled software.
