          i know that I’m late but i think the built-in program text edit is the same. been using it for a while and it works.

                    I recently discovered ‘Brackets’ by Adobe; it’s excellent. It’s not on the AppStore, but if you google it, you’ll find it easily. Completely free, and hundreds of optional extensions for themes, fonts etc to add on. I highly recommend it.

                                    Hello,
                                    I am actually working on porting Notepad++ to macOS. If you have any coding experience with Objective-C or Swift, it would be appreciated if you could help me.

                                        I like Atom, but Notepad++ is more lightweight so I prefer it. If you need any help in developing a version for mac, I offer my knowledge and my time.
