Shhhh the CLI purists haven’t figured out what icons are yet.

I mentioned it in my own comment but there’s a pretty much 1 to 1 clone of Notepad++ on Linux called Notepadqq

I reinstalled my system at somepoint and just decided to used Kate since I didn’t have NPQQ installed.

It ended up having everything I needed from NPQQ.

Fave: Kate

First: GNOME Text Editor

Future: Kate

Honourable Mention: Notepadqq used it for a after when I first switched from Windows where I used Notepad++

Least Liked: Vim

Current: Kate

Most used: Kate

For anything CLI related I use Micro.
