One Mention
papaMiller
As a Notepad ++ user of the Windows app, I’m so glad this was developed. I am curious why there isn’t an option to print documents.Another observation, I know NotePad ++++ is used by developers, but it’s also used as a casual writing app. It does weird things when used with Grammerly.
Developer Response
You’re absolutely right to expect this. Printing is a standard part of the desktop editing workflow, especially for Notepad++ users. We’re already working on it and it will be added in an upcoming update. Thanks for pointing it out.
Just as good as the Win version
