gnotepad+ is a user-friendly HTML and text editor designed for Unix operating systems. It provides a variety of useful features while remaining simple to use.
The "plus" in the name distinguishes it from other GTK-based text editors that may also be called "gnotepad." gnotepad+ is not intended to be fancy and focuses on leveraging its text editing capabilities on the GTK Text Widget. Therefore, if you require a programmer's editor, look elsewhere or help improve the GTK Text Widget.
This project is distributed under the (GNU) General Public License and is free software. Some of the key features of gnotepad+ include multiple windows and documents, complete preferences systems, HTML tag insertions, unlimited undo and redo, recent document menu, popup document and window lists, document autosave, and drag-and-drop files between gnotepad+ and other applications. Other configurable options such as toolbars, document tabs, and more are also available.
Gnotepad+ requires GNOME and gtk-xmhtml to run. The latest release includes bug fixes such as the message bar always being displayed, menus not showing up in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, and changes to some preferences not being saved.
In summary, gnotepad+ is an easy-to-use and feature-rich HTML and text editor that aims to provide modern features without any bloat. It is lightweight and focused on leveraging the capabilities of the GTK Text Widget. It is available for free under the GNU General Public License and includes multiple windows and documents, a complete preferences system, HTML tag insertions, unlimited undo and redo, and more.
