Introducing Notepad-- a text editor written in C++ that works seamlessly across Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms. Our goal is to eventually surpass Notepad++, with a special focus on the Chinese UOS operating system. Unlike Notepad++, our advantage lies in our cross-platform compatibility and support for different operating system.
**The purpose of Notepad-- is to counteract some of the misleading statements made by the author of Notepad++ and to promote a more humble and grounded perspective.**
We have recently added the ability to write plugins to Notepad-- and we hope that many CPP/QT developers will join us in this endeavour. If you develop a plugin, you can include your name and a donation channel.
1) Start by opening qscint/src/qscintilla.pro in either Qt Creator or Visual Studio and compile the qscintilla dependency library.
2) Next, open RealCompare.pro and compile it after loading.
3) Due to the multi-platform compilation, involving Windows/Linux/MacOS, if there are any compilations or problems, please join qq group 959439826. We welcome contributions and code submissions from everyone.
Recently, the code was made available online. However, the commercial comparison function and registration function have been removed for commercial reasons. All other functions have been retained.
4) For Arch Linux and its derivatives, you can install Notepad-- through the AUR using the following command: [notepad---git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/notepad---git)
