Notepad - Simple TXT Editor 4+

I don't know why I like it, but it's definitely better than TextEdit in ways difficult to put down. I wish there was an option to not ask to save when closing because that's the reason I was looking for another editor in the first place, the save dialogs are slow in mac os x, and I also second the request that someone else had to have an option to remove the word count at the bottom. If you're just looking to paste text, you know TextEdit has a plain text mode you can enable in the preferences. I still think this app is better however. I don't need any of that Rich Text stuff. I also tried ByWord which is nice if you like MarkDown, but for plain text, this app is it.

At last a text only edit program under the macOS GUI that I can use to alter and move text data between sources. Have tried to use TextEdit in the past, however it always want to do things in formatting the text I am working on that I do not want. I just want the text.

As an example of what I want to do, and what I like about this program. I have both Pages, and Word running on my iMac. When I use TextEdit and do a copy/paste from it into either Pages, or Word it retains the text formatting that was used in the TextEdit when you paste it into either programs document that I am working on. When I now do the same process out of “Notepad - Simple TXT editor” the pasted text uses the existing format of the document.

In looking into help once you have saved a document talks about a few features that I would have used as a sysop at the regional Internet Service Providors I worked at for a number of years.

Well worth the 99 cents...

This app does exactly what you'd expect it to do. It keeps creating txt files extremely simple and VERY quick, which is just what they should be. Only one feature that I wish it had and that is the ability to set the default font that it uses when opening existing files or starting new ones. Otherwise, PLEASE don't clutter it with anything else..... Keep it simple.
