Notepad++ on Linux?
-
I guess it is the right time to make notepad++ available to linux users… Wine is the alternative solution but that’s not the solution right?

Currently, this is the solution.

ClaudiaCurrently. And what about the future? Any plan for a porting? thanks

And what about the future? Any plan for a porting?
from the official site, not that I’m aware of.
I’m currently investigating whether it is possible for me
to make a notepad++ clone for linux but I don’t promise anything.Cheers

ClaudiaIf you need any help for Italian translation or small simple programming tasks (I’m not a professional programmer but a Systems Engineer with scripting basic knowledge and some basic programming background) I’m available
thanks for everything you’d do

Hi Daniele,
thank you for the offer - my background is something similar, being more a tool developer (mainly python) than a GUI application programmer. I do have gathered some knowledge while using wxPython and to be honest, I assume I will create the complete UI
in python first (because I already did 85%) and if I know what needs to be done I try to transfer it to c++ (let’s see how this works :-)And if I should build something which works, I would, of course, ask if you might give it a try.
Cheers

ClaudiaCount on me, whenever you need just contact me.
thanks for your efforts

Wine works so well now that I think it could form the basis for a complete solution. The editor could be started from a bash script - thus avoiding the need to type the wine command.
This would leave the problem that the wine file-open box is rather ugly, and doesn’t relate directly to the native Linux file system. I have wondered if the wine developers could be persuaded to add a few native functions such as a file-open/save box that would help to make programs running under wine look native to Linux.

on my two ubuntu based systems wine even created the shortcuts (launchers) on the desktop when installing npp which is nice.
The one thing I really miss is the execution functionality, meaning I want to run
gcc or python on linux directly like using Run or nppexec but without building a
server/client like framework, where a python script plugin script takes the code,
create a temporary file and forwards to a running linux python server instance
which than executes the needed calls and reports back …, I haven’t found a suitable solution yet.And it looks like wine can’t satisfy this wish, that’s why I’m looking for the native build.
But if you know a way how to achieve this, meaning writing code in npp
and building/compiling/executing on linux from within npp - I would appreciate any hints.Cheers

And another related question, some windows application (ex. foobar2000) are available as a snap app. Is there any project to do the same with npp?

@Claudia-Frank , I think it would be a good suggestion to npp developers pay some attention. I’ve tried npp in wine environment with success. I believe snap use some wine environment to allow runs some windows programs, so maybe would be easy to runs npp in such environments.
@pnedev, sure. I’m also think is the best option. But would be nice the column mode of npp in nqq
-
@gwarah ,
I personally prefer N++ under Wine.
BR -
It’s exactly what I believe snap implements with windows app, but with the advantage with no need to install wine via apt-get.
If you have a Linux with snap installed and wine not installed, try to run this:
# sudo snap install foobar2000and then run foobar2000:
# foobar2000Snap install previously wine in a local user (and safer) environment.

I didn’t know that, thanks.
Will try it some time when I upgrade my Linux. -
Good news!! npp is now availble on ubuntu snap store:
sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus\o/

I installed Notepad++ via Wine, and later found this post.
Tried installing it via snap, and it says ‘already installed’?I also wondered,
If I wanted to use Notepad++ from Snap or Wine in Ubuntu (Lubuntu),
And wanted to do some C++ coding,
In Windows, there’s a procedure to install Plugins > NppExec , and create a script like below:- npp_save
cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\bin\g++.exe “$(FILE_NAME)”
cmd /c “$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\a.exe”
What is the right procedure for Linux using G++?
- npp_save

I did not see anything about why NPP is not native available on Linux. I am okay using it with Wine as I have been doing for a long time, but it would be nice to have a native version.
