    Sorry if this has been asked before (I couldn’t find it though).
    I have just upgraded Notepad++ and the change.log says:
    “Add several spiritual quotes and a subtle Easter egg in the source code”
    The Easter egg, I found on the Internet how to unwrap it, but how can I see the spiritual quotes?
    Thanks.

      start np++ with the argument -qnrandom to get a random quote every time you launch np++

      eg:
      notepad++.exe -qnrandom

        -qnrandom…every time you launch…

        …and then repeat that over and over many times to see ALL the quotes…

        Or have a look at the quote section of this file …search it for “quote” to easily find the section. The quotes are a fascinating feature of Notepad++ (dripping sarcasm).

        @José-Miguel-del-Río , did you truly find Don Ho’s recent easter egg and apparently the one he is most-proud of? (pooling sarcasm)

          More info:

          Type the word “random” into a Notepad++ editor tab, select the entire word, and invoke About Notepad++ from the ? menu (or press its shortcut, usually F1) – this will invoke the ghost-typing feature to show a random quote.

          Even more info:
