notepad++ that i run doesn't have any features like that. I can't even get "run" to work. But vertical selection + search and replace are top notch, and it loads large files fast, even with control characters.

Even when i was running linux and windows side by side i did all my text editing in windows, notepad++ is just that fine tuned. even BBEdit wasn't as nice.

I rarely upgrade software that "works", so i have no idea if notepad++ has gotten worse.
