I am 100% positive there are many, many editors on Mac for which that is true. What I need is “search with regex and mark lines” If you want Notepad++ to work on your Mac, you will have to use Wine for your architecture, and pester the Wine developers if they don’t work properly on the ARM Mac.Ĭomplaining to us Notepad++ users won’t help you accomplish your goals. If Wine were 100% effective, then having a Wine installed on your Mac for the right architecture and installing the right-architecture Notepad++ into that Wine environment would be sufficient. Notepad++ is a perfectly valid Windows application, and has executables for 32bit Intel-compatible, 64bit Intel-compatible, and ARM architectures.

And the Notepad++ developers are not Mac developers, and are not likely going to learn Mac development just for this Notepad++ is a Windows application, and always will be.Īs I said last month, if Notepad++-through-WINE doesn’t work on an ARM Mac, the fault lies in Wine (available for Mac from WineHQ), not in Notepad++. The Notepad++ developers aren’t in it for the money, since they get none from Notepad++.
