@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.

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.

Notepad++ is developed using the Win32 api and is solely dependent on it. A native Linux version would require a nearly complete rewrite of the application…and you’d have to be crazy to want to do that.
