About Notepad++ and its shortcuts
Notepad++ is the Windows editor people reach for when they want a file open now. Its keyboard covers the practical things: moving between open tabs, searching across files, changing encoding or line endings, and the column and multi-edit modes that make repetitive text work quick.
Almost every binding can be remapped from the shortcut mapper, and plugins add their own commands. Notepad++ is Windows only, so nothing here has a Mac equivalent to compare against.
