Scite can do it.
Notepad++ probably too but I don't know if it's available on Linux. I just remember it being the text editor to use on Windows.
Noted. Thank you!
FWIW, someone else pointed out the existence of Notepad Next. Which IIUC is pretty much an open-source and cross-platform reimplementation.
Frankly, I never used it when I was using Windows 😅. I suppose I was (somehow) conditioned at the time to use whatever M$ Office offered instead 😜.
Notepadqq is available on Linux and is a pretty good replacement
From https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq/blob/master/README.md:
Thank you for mentioning this! Do you happen to know what distinguishes this from Notepad Next?
It can indeed, but Notepad++ is explicitly Windows only.
There are some clones for Unixlike platforms, and I guess you could run the genuine article in Wine if you really felt like it. But don't go looking for an official Linux build, because there isn't one.
