      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:
