Notepad now supports AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite on Copilot+ PCs, with no subscription required. If you have a subscription, you can seamlessly switch between local and cloud models based on your needs. If you’re not signed in or don’t have a subscription, you can use the local model to accomplish your tasks. For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

What's funny is that this likely irritated one of Microsofts own devs enough that they said 'fuck all of this' and invented the new cli app called Edit.

It's under 200kb and runs as a standalone binary if you want. Also supports mouse input.

Did I mention it's cross platform?

With the tagline:

A simple editor for simple needs.

Just like original Notepad lol

Well, yes, but actually no. It's more like MS-DOS's EDIT.COM since it runs in a command line / "DOS" window.

In fact, since EDIT.COM went through a couple of distinct variants back in the day, you could say that this is the third variant of it.

The other two being 1) the BASIC-deactivated side of QBASIC.EXE which was an editor and programming language in one, and then 2) a stand-alone, from the ground up, version (with no BASIC to disable) which came along with Win9x / MS-DOS 7.

I keep a copy of the latter in my DOSBox config. It's only 70kB.

I didn't mean the style chosen for the editor. I only meant the tagline.

And edit,com was the shit and will always be my top 5 favorite text editors. Yes, more than vim.

Edit: changed the . to a , so it won't be a url lol

Markdown varies a little from instance to instance, but you ought to be able to get away with a backslash before a problematic character (like that dot) or else backticks around something to get monospace text.

edit\.com → edit.com `EDIT.COM` → EDIT.COM

Try not to twist your brain on how I managed to get the left hand sides of those arrows.
