This is the best summary I could come up with:


The feature is not immediately accessible in any current Windows Insider build, however, enterprising users have ways and means to delve into the operating system and haul out experiments that are not yet ready to see the light of day.

A pop-up menu titled "Cowriter" is visible, with options to tweak the format and content of the text.

Microsoft has been hard at work ruining updating Notepad in recent years.

Its GUI was updated with the introduction of Dark Mode, and tab support turned up in 2023.

Not seeing anyone recommend Sublime Text here. It's free for non commercial use and is fucking kickass and doesn't look like it came out of the 80's like NP++

The more I look at modern UIs, which seem to have decided the best way to use the metric crapload of screen space a modern PC has is with gratuitious whitespace, the more I like 1990s UIs.

God damn. Fuck these guys. My bread and butter has been programming in the Microsoft ecosystem for 15 years. Now I'm running Linux on two different PCs and working on learning non-MS development stacks.
