NP++ on Linux?

We’re working on it (but it will take some time however)
Is this something we can expect in the near future, next couple of months? Or are we talking with-in a year?
I would love to get this in Linux! I have dreamed of using Notepad++ in my Linux install for ever!Thanks,

Just another ono here who would like to concur with the suggetion porting NPP for Linux, I have been a long time Windows user but am looking into migrating fully towards Linux as it has become quite a mature OS for the greater audience, thumbs up!
-
I just wanted to add that I love NP++ and would love to see a Linux build as well. I was wondering if SDL could be used instead of Win32 API to provide cross-platform support?
-
one of the reasons i hesitate switching finally to linux is that there is no native (thus blazingly fast) Notepad++ available i use everyday.

I would love to see notepad++ on linux!

Go Notaped++ To linux!!!
Please add Linux!!!
I Love Notaped++
Linux + Notaped++ The Best ???
The Best!!! -
Notepadqq should be a Linux-native equivalent of Notepad++.
-
Notepadqq don’t have the features like notepad++
-
It appears that the “upstream” developers have no interest in developing NP++ on Linux… so I am gonna do it.
I have a Launchpad PPA (so it’s gonna be only for Ubuntu now)… and I’m working on it as I write this.
Install instructions soon. Maybe in a day or two.

Have you seen this commit?
-
Anyone tried this?

I tried this one, but it is not as functional as notepad++, for sure it is not a full port (I do not even understand why they use the same name… )

Technically all this commit does is allow compiling with mingw/gcc on Windows or via cross compiling. You still need to rewrite the entirety of the powereditor to use Gtk+ and toggle the WINAPI and windows rendering stuff under windows only! I think starting by making it work with Gtk+ under windows first slowly disabling the windows functions etc then migrate to linux later.
One can actually download a newer version of scintilla from the scintilla page and compile it for linux with gtk+ or possibly even Qt. I tested gtk+ which compiles fine. But that still leaves us at no ported ide (“PowerEditor” aka N++)

I would also like to see NP++ on Linux.
I would happily contribute to this. -
Has there been any more development on NP++ for Linux?
-
I don’t know if someone is working on it but … as much as I would like a native editor for Linux as good as NP++ I don’t really expect a port of NP++. Because:
- NP++ works very well on wine.
- Trying to port NP++ to GTK or QT will likely end up splitting the project since too many users like the Win32 version.
- Much of NP++ appeal is due to plugins and their developers are even less likely to port them to another GUI system.
So I don’t expect NP++ to be ported to Linux, I just hope that someone will make a better clone than notepadqq with a framework for C/C++ plugins. -
There is an open source clone of Notepad++ that is called Notepadqq. I wrote a guide on how to install it here if you are interested.

@Michael-Arida
Following what I wrote here.
I had high hopes for Notepadqq when I first encountered it.
But as a C developer who wrote plugins for Notepad++, I am disappointed with the technical decisions its author took.
It could be great if Plugin developers would have easy path to maintain plugins for both platforms from a single source base. Now Notepadqq made it impossible. Notepadqq needs to grow its own community without being able to take advantage of the existing Notepad++ community. Maybe it will succeed, Linux certainly needs a good editor. But for now Notepad++ on wine is just a better alternative. -
What if one tries to migrate it using wxWidgets?
On windows it would/could still look like it is but
would give the advantage to make it run under unixOS and macOS.
It would be a lot of work and to be honest I guess it must be a hard cut
to decide starting migrating and not to update current version anymore.
And I do see, that maintaining multiple operating systems and relying
on a framework might not be a first class choice but … it could be worth,
Well, whoever defines what worth means in this context.I’m currently playing with this framework and so far it is looking promising
