About

GnotePad is a Qt 6 / C++23 refresh of the classic Notepad workflow with first-class support for Linux, Windows, and macOS. - Fast plain-text editing with Unicode-aware encoding controls. - Find/replace, go-to-line, zoom, line numbers, and recent files mirroring Windows Notepad. - Cross-platform builds using CMake, Ninja, and clang with a native Qt UI.
