Notepad is the Windows operating system RichEdit widget as an application. The whole point is to be the simplest possible text editor. But what if Notepad had some AI? Wait no longer. Microsoft has…

    Calculator is next. What does the CE button do? That depends on what the AI thinks you want it to do.

    As long as no-one ever bakes—pluginlessly—LLMs into vanilla vim (or into normal nano) I won’t despair too much.

        ibm has press-released code complete models via red hat that are license-pure (permissive, GPL, etc) but i haven’t heard much about them outside the PR

    since when is Windows Notepad, RichEdit? Its just a TMemo with a bit fancy UI around it, nothing about it is RichEdit (that was Wordpad)

      Notepad on Windows 11 uses RichEdit https://devblogs.microsoft.com/math-in-office/windows-11-notepad/

      I think you may be getting confused with Rich Text Format and the like - I.e. A format/markup and editors supporting bold, italiic, different fonts etc.

      That’s not RichEdit - it is a basically a type of text entry box in Windows and the features it can support. The current version of it supports emoji, multilevel undo, auto rendering URLs, drag and drop etc. It’s still just a text box but just a bit more integrated and sophisticated than the older versions.

      So Notepad in Windows 11 is a bit more sophisticated in terms of the text interface for users than it used to be but it’s still just working with txt files.

      It’s not like wordpad, which could work with proper markup and other formats. This is cruedly more in the realm like notepad++ - working with txt files but with more sophisticated control and options for the user (but to be clear notepad++ remains way more sophisticated than win 11 notepad).

      Edit: and of course, the AI stuff is all bullshit. Fucking Microsoft.

        And, I assume, it will still fuck up file names every single time, complain about insufficient permissions and make us save the zabbix.conf.txt (or whatever non .txt extension file you happened to edit) on to the desktop before renaming and moving it to proper location, right?

    I found out that in win 11, you can uninstall the new notepad and the old, familiar one will be active again. I don’t like the new one.

    Paint.exe is officially alive?

    I would miss clicking Start, writing “pain”, and clicking enter.
    I don’t do it often (and at work where Windows PCs live), but I like it.
