      I say a forum on Notepad++ for android as I was looking for to edit python file and execute them with reflux offline as it had syntax highlighting but I found it had no android port.

      I know nothing about Notepad++, only that its windows only and what I’ve stated before.

      But that won’t stop me.

      Also please inform me if someone made it and/or anything relating to Notepad++ or the topic.

      Will update soon but will have internet rarely because of moving as of posting this.

      To see you soon. -Ari

        @Em776102 ,

        There’s nothing to stop you from being inspired by Notepad++ to make an android app that behaves similarly. And there’s nothing to stop you from trying to use the Notepad++ source code to make an android app that behaves similarly (though it’s not going to be easy, as the Win32 API is completely different than what you need on mobile, and Notepad++ is win32-api through-and-through).

        But if you try to publish it as “Notepad++ for Android”, you will find yourself in trouble, because while the code of Notepad++ is open source, that doesn’t mean that the “Notepad++” trademark is free for you to use.

          @Em776102 not sure what your use is, for example in termux on android you can use nano. For most quick edits it’s enough I guess… Need something more advanced, use: Acode - code editor | OSS
          Surely it’s not our beloved notepad++, but quick search may reveal even more alternatives.
