Notepadqq has a simple goal – become a Notepad++ like programmers’ editor on Linux. As it is written using the Qt framework, it doesn’t have a problem with portability on platforms like Windows or Mac. Current capabilities include:
- syntax highlighting for around 100 languages
- code folding
- colour schemes
- file monitoring
- multiple selection
As expected, the look and feel closely follows Notepad++. It asks for the Qt 5.3 libraries for all the features to work correctly but works with Qt 5.2 also.
To install Notepadqq on Ubuntu:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:notepadqq-team/notepadqq $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install notepadqq
If you want to install Qt 5.3:
//On 32-bit $ wget http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.0/qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.3.0.run $ chmod +x qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.3.0.run $ sudo ./qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.3.0.run //On 64-bit $ wget http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.0/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.3.0.run $ chmod +x qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.3.0.run $ sudo ./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.3.0.run
