App so goated that I uninstalled Win. Notepad . Just one feature request: it would be great to add support for multiple tabs like Windows Notepad has. Also, I'd love to see the dialog boxes use a dark interface to match modern Windows design.
Currently , those boxes give off Windows 10/XP vibes

Please don't add tab support. If you want tabs, why not just use the regular Bloatpad?

Sorry I forgot to reply to this. It's not that I dislike tabs, on the contrary I am a heavy tab user in Firefox, and I could never go back to a File Explorer without tabs. But Notepad is supposed to be an ultra barebones text editor. And again, if you like tabs in Notepad they are there in Bloatpad.

No problem mate, it's understandable. Everyone has their own preferences and choices. I've decided to vibecode Legacy-Notepad to add tab feature, for my personal use , so no issues 🤝
