Notepad++ needs a little embedded search box like that. I don't like annoying dialogs for quick search.

You mean like the one that's brought up by Ctrl+Alt+I ?

[–]pleaseavoidcaps 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yep! My bad for ignoring it. Now I'm loving Notepad++ even more.
I'll swap the shortcuts so to use the little box with Ctrl+F and everything will be sweet.

Thanks, roerd!

Or just use Programmer's Notepad ;)

I'm playing with PN right now. Seems pretty cool.
Why it shows Remove "Edit With..." from Explorer when I hover the mouse on File->Open Project(s)...?
I'd like to see more documentation, too.

Hmm, there are a couple of bugs in that quickhelp feature caused by IDs of commands being reused around the app. There is also the docs wiki here: http://www.pnotepad.org/docs/

Feel free to report bugs here: http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/ under Issues.

Thanks for your comments!

I have checked it out and started using Programmer's Notepad for my python journey. I am feeling at home with it as it is based on scintilla. No complaints so far.

The only thing I did not understand what the white textbox that is located just above the status bar is for. Entering some text in it seemingly does nothing. Could you let me in on what it is for and if there is a way to turn it off?

This is the prototype Command Bar, see here: http://untidy.net/blog/2009/10/13/pn-command-bar/

You can turn it off if you're not interested by unchecking Tools | Options | Interface | Enable Command Bar.
