Nextpad++ v1.1.0

Native Linux port of Notepad++ / macOS Nextpad++, built on GTK4 + Scintilla.

Highlights

• Full editor: multi-caret & column editing, macros, code folding, auto-completion for 33 languages, 45 encodings, sessions & backups.
• Five-tab Find window — Find / Replace / Find in Files / Find in Projects / Mark — with regex and fuzzy search.
• Dockable/floating side panels (Document List, Function List, Document Map, Folder as Workspace, Git…), split view, tab colors/pinning.
• Light/dark mode, the 22 Notepad++ themes, Style Configurator, User Defined Languages, and the optional Tahoe-inspired look.
• 26 plugins ported day one — including MCP Server and LuaScript — one-click install from Plugins Admin (per-arch, checksum-verified).
• Measured macOS parity: ~340 menu items, 16 Preferences panes, Windows Notepad++ shortcut layout, new Window menu.
